Griffith University Sports Science Excursion
The Year 12 Physical Education classes had a great opportunity to visit Griffith University at the end of last term and experience life as a Sport and Exercise Science university student.
The subject content that was covered that day, helped them with completion of their Unit 3 assessment work, as well as giving them an insight into potential courses they could study next year.
