The Year 9 HPE curriculum supports students to explore the many facets of health and wellbeing through the development of positive, respectful relationships and the impact this has on individuals and communities. Students develop and learn to apply critical health literacy to devise and implement strategies for maintaining healthy and active habits. In collaboration with Science, students synthesise health information to propose and justify strategies to enhance their own and others' health and wellbeing. Students explore the many facets of health and physical fitness and the role that personal health plays in community outcomes. Students propose strategies to support the development of preventive health practices that build and optimise community health and wellbeing.
Year 9 students analyse how participation in physical activity and sport influence an individual’s identity, and explore the role participation plays in shaping cultures. The curriculum also provides opportunities for students to refine and consolidate personal and social skills in demonstrating leadership, teamwork and collaboration in a range of physical activities.
Assignments, multimodal presentations, movement and physical activity assessment.
