Health & Physical Education

Duration Full Year 

This subject consists of both Health and Physical Activity theory. The Health unit investigates the emotional, social and physical well-being of adolescents while the Physical Activity theory incorporates an understanding of body systems, benefits of physical activity, first aid and coaching skills/styles. This course will equip students with knowledge and skills to identify health issues and develop positive coping strategies while also maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Students will gain a deeper understanding on the importance of being physically active and will be able to link this to their overall health and wellbeing. 

Students will be involved in many discussions, providing opportunities to express themselves freely in a positive environment and will be encouraged to collaborate on many topics, creating and sharing a common understanding/knowledge.
