Health & PE
Health and Physical Education (H & PE) involves you in a wide range of practical and theoretical activities that help to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle. H & PE promotes the development of physical fitness and sporting skills, healthy attitudes and health-promoting behaviour.
You will focus on three areas; The Health of Individuals & Populations, The Self & Relationships, and Movement & Physical Activity. These areas cover the things that develop and maintain a person’s physical, social and mental wellbeing.
Through this subject you may also develop an interest in careers ranging from Health & Welfare to Human Movement & Physical Education.
HH21 Year 9 Health
In Year 9 Health, students develop an understanding of the right to be safe and explore the concepts of challenge, risk and safety. They identify the harms associated with particular situations and behaviours and how to take action to minimise harm.
Students will examine the impact of changes and transitions of relationships and identify and critique the accessibility and effectiveness of support services based in the community that impact on the ability to make healthy and safe choices.
Theory based units:
• Risk taking & Drugs
• Mental Health
• Respectful Relationships
