Physical Education
Our excellent Auditorium and Sports Hall provides the perfect backdrop for weekly lessons in Physical Education. Health and Physical Education promotes an understanding of the importance of personal and community actions in promoting health and lifelong participation in physical activity, and of the crucial role that supportive physical and social environments play in the development of the health of individuals and communities.
Health and Physical Education helps young people learn about factors, including nutrition, that promote and protect the physical, social and emotional health of individuals, families and communities, and the range of health-related services and products available in the community. They learn to identify the harms associated with particular situations and behaviours, and how to take action to minimize these harms. They consider personal and community rights and responsibilities, and the cultural and social diversity of Australia in relation to health and safety so that they are informed in making decisions about their own and others’ lives.
A significant aspect of young people’s lives is their physical, social and emotional development. The Health and Physical Education recognizes the challenges faced by young people as they grow and develop, and the many contexts in which they form and negotiate relationships with family, friends, partners and groups.
Participation in physical activity provides opportunities for relaxation, enjoyment, recreation, fitness, social interaction and competition. The experience of physical activity in play, recreation, sport, fitness and outdoor environments, provides challenge, personal growth and enjoyment.
