Physical Education

Overall expectations in Physical Education

The Physical Education curriculum have been designed in recognition that learning language is a developmental process and that the phases a learner passes through are not always linear or age-related.

For this reason the content is presented in continuums for each of the four strands of Physical Education: active living; health- related fitness; games; Individual pursuits; adventure challenge and movement composition.

The content of each continuum has been organised into four phases of development, with each phase building upon and complementing the previous phase.

The continuums make explicit the overall expectations and conceptual understandings developed at each phase.

Each of these understandings is described in the behaviours or learning outcomes associated with each phase and these learning outcomes relate specifically to Physical Education concepts, knowledge and skills.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The learning outcomes serve as a guide for teaching. As in any educational setting, not all outcomes are reported on / measured.
