NEW Health & Movement Science 11-12 Syllabus

The PDHPE faculty is currently planning for the new Stage 6 course, Health and Movement Science for implementation in 2025. 

The course allows students to explore and apply scientific concepts to engage students in learning about the factors influencing health and movement. A focus on practical application allows students to develop deep knowledge and understanding and provides opportunities to develop students’ skills in problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, research and analytical skills. Students are encouraged to explore areas of interest, to contribute positively to their own and others' health and wellbeing. The concepts studied in Health and Movement Science make clear links to relevant post-school pathways relating to Australia's health, movement physiology and anatomy. 

We are seeking any parents or members of the Newtown High School of the Performing Arts community who have expertise and are willing to share or support the implementation of this course that would maximise students' authentic engagement in this course. This could include areas that are not limited to fitness, health or medical fields for excursions/presentations or other resources eg. physiotherapy, sport scientist/coach, health promotion, university sector.
