Health and Physical Education aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to enable students to:

• access, evaluate and apply appropriate information and resources to take positive action to protect, enhance and advocate for their own and others' health and wellbeing across their lifespan
• develop and use skills and strategies to promote a sense of personal identity and wellbeing, and to build and manage respectful relationships

• acquire, apply and evaluate movement skills, concepts and strategies to respond confidently, competently and creatively in a variety of physical activity contexts and settings

• engage in and enjoy regular movement-based learning experiences and understand and appreciate their significance to personal, social, cultural, environmental and health practices and outcomes

• analyse how varied and changing personal and contextual factors shape their understanding of, and opportunities for, health and physical activity locally, regionally and globally.

• The health and PE curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop, enhance and exhibit attitudes and values that promote a healthy lifestyle.  Students will be assessed in Movement and Physical Activity as well as Personal, Social and Community Health.
