This Year 11 and 12 course is structured to provide students with opportunities to develop and apply their knowledge, understanding and skills of health and movement concepts.

The study of health sciences includes epidemiology, dimensions and determinants of health, and social justice principles. Learning about movement science involves exploring and thinking critically about the interrelationships between anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, psychology, sociology, nutrition, skill acquisition, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Students learn about the factors that influence health and movement including how the body works and responds to exercise and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. They will gain valuable skills in analysing movement, improving performance, and understanding the role of nutrition and psychology in sports and health. This knowledge prepares students for careers in health, fitness, and sports and helps them make informed choices about their own wellbeing.
