whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
 Psalms 139: 13-17
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!

positive relationships are and how they can be established/maintained.

Every person has rights and responsibilities – respecting these and having
others show you respect in these is the starting point for a positive relationship.

responsibilities you have?
Lets have a think…

What makes relationships hard to maintain?

• Personality clashes
• Physical distance (effort to communicate)
• Change of interests
• Differences of opinion
Topic 4 – Understanding Movement

Movement – any physical action or activity

 A – FITNESS COMPONENTS

CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE
-Refers to the ability of the body to work continuously for extended
periods of time.
- Having high level means your heart and lungs are stronger and
more efficient.

MUSCULAR STRENGTH
- Refers to the ability of muscle/muscles to exert a force against a
resistance in one maximal contraction.
- Affected by muscle fibre type, CSA of muscles, gender and age
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
- Refers to the ability of a muscle to work continuously for an extended
period of time.
- Mainly relies on aerobic energy system.

FLEXIBILITY
- Refers to the capacity of a joint to move through full range of motion
(ROM)
- Promotes healthy muscles/ joints, makes day to day activities easier
and prevents likelihood of lower-back/spinal column problems.
SPEED
- Refers to the ability to move over a distance in a short period of time.
- Relies on the ATP-CP system

AGILITY
- Refers to the ability to change direction whilst maintaining speed and
balance

BALANCE
- Refers to the ability to maintain equilibrium
- Can either be static (stationary) or dynamic (moving).
MUSCULAR POWER
- Refers to the ability of a muscle apply a maximum force quickly
(explosively)
- Relies on ATP-CP system

REACTION TIME:
- Refers to the time between receiving a stimulus and starting a
response.

COORDINATION
- Refers to the ability to perform skilful and specific interaction of
movements smoothly (fluently)
Benefits of understanding movement

• Confidence

PART B – KINEMATIC AND KINETIC UNDERSTANDING

Motion:
Movement of an object

Whole body is travelling

in a Linear motion
Rotation of legs around hip
joint is Angular motion
Angular motion of limbs that
cause linear motion of a
body = General motion
Trajectory:
Path a projectile follows in its passage through the air
Summation of force:
Sequentially moving each part of the body to create a maximum force.
[the sum of the forces produced by each sequential movement]
 Forces that always act upon an object?
1) Gravity
2) Air resistances (wind)

Four aspects that affect the flight path of an object?

1) Velocity of release
2) Mass of object
3) Angle of release
4) Spin placed on projectile
Lets have a think….
1) How does velocity of release affect flight path?

2) How would the mass of object affect the flight path?

3) What angle of release would these two people want their

projectile to be released?
 Magnus effect?
The effect spin has on the trajectory of an object.
Topic 5 – Leadership and Teamwork
Lets have a think…

What is leadership?

What is good leadership?

Are you a leader? Why or why not?

What is leadership?
Words and actions the cause influence

What is good leadership?

Serving, getting the best out of others, standing up when
things are not right (when difficult)

Are you a leader? Why or why not?

We are all leaders, but we could always develop attributes of
good leadership
Lets put this in practice through 3 activities….

1 – Draw a picture of strength

2 – Build a pyramid

3 – Stick game
What are some things you noticed about the activities?
- Who “took charge”
- What worked and what did not work
- What could’ve helped the group succeed more

Links to Teamwork
Every member of the group actively and positively
contributing to the success of the team
 Strategies for effective leadership
and teamwork
• Acknowledge and uses the strengths of the group

• Enthusiasm – be intentional with your words and actions

• Active listening – listen then speak

• Be involved in the activity yourself

 FAIR PLAY AND ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR

Fair play – respect and adherence to the rules of the game

Ethical behaviour – words and actions display honesty and integrity

SPORTSMANSHIP
Topic 6 – Responding and Choosing
A - RESPONDING TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

What would be a physical emergency situation?

Broken bone
Sprain
Continuous bleeding
Unconscious
Stroke
Shortness of breath
 Methods of response:
1. DRSABCD – when casualty looks non-responsive

DANGER - Ensure the area is safe for yourself, others and the casualty
i.e. - live wires, overflowing liquids, gases, moving vehicles, dangerous animals and
people, sharp objects, falling objects

RESPONSE – find out if the casualty is conscious

i.e “Can you hear me”, “Open your eyes”, “What’s my name?”, “Squeeze my hands”

SEND FOR HELP – call a medical professonal on 000 or 112 (from mobile)
AIRWAY – check if the airway is clear
Tilt head back and lift chin up for vision of airway obstructions. Place is
recovery position and remove with fingers if obstructed

BREATHING – check for breathing

Look if chest rises, Listen at the mouth for sounds, Feel for air against cheeks

CPR – if not breathing place,

30 strong compressions on sternum, followed by 2 breaths (continuously)

DEBIFRILLATOR – Use specialised machine and follow prompts so that it

can transmit an electric shock with the purpose restoring heart to beat in
normal rhythms
2. RICER – when there is a brake or sprain

Rest – stop activity and place in a comfortable position (preferably lying down)

Ice – apply ice every 20 minutes every waking 2 hours for the first 2-3 days

Compression – firm, wide bandage applied over injury to provide support

Elevate – Raised (preferably above the level of the heart) to reduce bleeding
and swelling

Referral – send to a qualified health professional such as a doctor or

physiotherapist
B – MAKING WISE CHOICES
 B – MAKING WISE CHOICES

What does risky mean?

Have you been a part of (or heard of) a risky scenario?

How did you/could you have dealt with the scenario?

What does risky mean?
Any scenario that has the potential to have negative physical,
emotional and/or social consequences.

Have you been a part of (or heard of) a risky scenario?

How did you/could you have dealt with the scenario?

 THINK, PAIR, WRITE, SHARE

For each scenario….

1) Why a good choice is important for the person in the scenario?

2) How you would advise them to respond in the scenario?
 Scenario 1 – Taj
Taj’s mates are jumping off the railway bridge into a local river. It
initially started off as fun, however some of them are starting a
competition to see how many somersaults/backflips they can do
before hitting the water. Moreso, they are climbing higher and
jumper further from the platform, increasing the margin for error.
Taj is not a strong swimmer and internally feels uncomfortable
taking part in the antics and having his friends do it too.
 Scenario 2 – Lily

Lily has been offered a lift home from a party by Fred. Lily has
seen Fred have alcohol at the party they were both at.
Fred is still on his red P plates. Lily really likes him.
 Scenario 3 – Jesse

Some of Jesse’s group of friends didn’t invite him to their

computer gaming session on the weekend. Jesse is angry and
feels left out.
He is looking forward to approach them on Monday at school.
 Scenario 4 – Ella

Ella and some of her friends are hanging out at a house where
they parents are not present. One of her friends grabs a vodka
botte out of the cupboard. Some of the people take a swig out of
the bottle and then pass it on to her.
Everyone starts chanting “scull” and “chicken” despite the fact
that Ella is feeling uncomfortable about drinking.
Strategies to manage risky situations

1 – Say no
• Some myths surrounding saying no that it is uncool and stops the fun.
• However, saying no is your right. Assertively saying no is recommended in
some scenarios.

2 – Use OCD
• OCD stands for Options, Consequences, Decision
• This methods allows you to evaluate the pros and cons of a scenario to
help you make the best decision.
3 – Stay in a group
You are more likely to be harmed when you are isolated

4 – Stay alert
• You are more likely to be harmed when you are not aware of your
surroundings.
• I.e stay in the light, stay awake on public transport, do not talk on your phone
out loud in public

5 – Positive self-talk
Helps us manage and deal with emotions before coming to incorrect
conclusions or responding erratically
