Timeline Unpacking the Draft HPE Curriculum: A PENZ Perspective

Anne500 @anne500.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
PE is more than just sport and uses a wider context physical activity ( that includes sporting contexts) to teach in through and about movement. This draft curriculum focuses mostly on “in movement.” Something the NZPE community has worked hard to address to ensure all students are included.

Anne500 @anne500.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
PE also not great. Reduced to a narrow performative approach based around traditional sport. Will be exclusive focusing on those who like and are good at sport. There is a phrase that comes to mind that we hoped had gone. If it moves, measure it

An important read to give voice to Alex and his life. I have requested that @rnzrss.bsky.social take the article down, not expecting that they will but needed to push back in some small way. A young persons life matters - but needs to be their authentic life.

#2 They were a well-researched, co-constructed, with young people set of guidelines. Schools needed to consult with the community about what was being taught. Does Winstone think he knows better than parents of young people and young people themselves?

How does a party/person who received 6% of the vote in the 2023 election get to say what can and cannot be taught in schools? They are not sex-ed guidelines- they are Relationships and Sexuality guidelines. Shows a lack of media investigation. Do better Stuff www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...
