They investigate different components of fitness, how these vary between
activities and how they contribute to the wellbeing of people at different stages
of their lives. Students learn to set personal physical activity and/or fitness goals,
develop an activity and/or fitness program and evaluate its success. They
investigate community facilities available for health and physical fitness
activities, engage in a variety of recreational and outdoor adventure
activities, and develop skills, knowledge and behaviours for enhancing safe
participation in these activities.

Cross Curriculum Priorities:

In Health and Physical Education, students develop a deeper
understanding of the relationship between the health and wellbeing of
the individual and the environment. They develop this understanding
through a range of activities including learning in, and about, the
outdoors; the creation of spaces for outdoor learning; active outdoor
recreation; active transport options. As such, they will gain a capacity to
advocate and act for a sustainable future.

GOALS Students are to investigate the Sustainability Initiatives in Health

and Physical Education and critically analyse the health initiatives and
apply to advertisement.
