Presentations

This presentation explores the critical components of movement and positioning in tennis, with a focus on developing these skills across different stages of junior development: Red, Orange, and Green. It emphasizes the importance of teaching balance, proper stances, ball control, and movement patterns to ensure players can effectively cover the court, execute accurate shots, and recover efficiently.

Learn about our department's step-by-step approach to redesigning the PE curriculum, including initial planning, vertical alignment, and the impact on teaching and learning.

This session aims to provide accessible starting points for schools beginning their journey in this important field. Additionally, it will offer dedicated planning time and encourage meaningful discussions for schools that are further along in their development.

Walk away from this workshop with a deeper understanding of the consent continuum, an updated resource bank, some ready-to-use learning activities, and ideas for developing a skills-based unit that is responsive to diverse, multilingual learners.

A discussion, based in salutogenic principles, will include opportunities to reflect on pedagogies (e.g. skills-based, humanizing, culturally responsive/sustaining) and practices that can improve well-being and thriving for students in school settings.

During the interactive two day workshop, you’ll take part in 6 individual modules, each taking you through a step-by-step approach to the event and leaving you with in-depth knowledge of how to teach athletics to students of all abilities.

You will learn the foundation vaults of parkour and how to combine them to create 'flows' of movement over a string of obstacles, which is one of the most exhilarating and enjoyable movement activities for young people - and for you!

In this workshop, we will explore a sequence of learning progressing Touch football from simple to complex games using a non-linear approach to deliberate play. How to vary the game form so the sequence can be used for non-contact modified ‘walla’ Rugby (Union) and tag Rugby League will also feature. 

This interactive talk will encourage participants to reflect on our social identities and how these influence our decisions in the classroom and beyond.
