Health and Physical Education
propositions
It has long been recognised that
the broader school environment can enhance the delivery of
the Health and Physical Education curriculum. Learning in
Health and Physical Education supports students to make
decisions about their health, wellbeing, safety and physical
activity participation.
The Australian Curriculum: Health
and Physical Education has been shaped by five interrelated
propositions that are informed by a strong and diverse
research base for a futures-oriented curriculum:
Focus on educative purposes
Take a strengths-based
approach
Value movement
Develop health literacy
Include a critical inquiry
approach
Aims
The Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical
Education (F–10) aims to develop the knowledge,
understanding and skills to enable students to:
·
access, evaluate and synthesise
information to take positive action to protect, enhance and
advocate for their own and others’ health, wellbeing, safety
and physical activity participation across their lifespan
·
develop and use personal,
behavioural, social and cognitive skills and strategies to
promote a sense of personal identity and wellbeing and to
build and manage respectful relationships
·
acquire, apply and evaluate movement
skills, concepts and strategies to respond confidently,
competently and creatively in a variety of physical activity
contexts and settings
·
engage in and enjoy regular
movement-based learning experiences and understand and
appreciate their significance to personal, social, cultural,
environmental and health practices and outcomes
·
analyse how varied and changing
personal and contextual factors shape understanding of, and
opportunities for, health and physical activity locally,
regionally and globally.

What is Terrific Kids?
Being young leaders through practicing good character and good citizenship.
Terrific Kids is a student recognition program that promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. Students work with their classroom teacher and establish goals to improve behaviour, peer relationships, attendance, or schoolwork. Students then work toward achieving the goal during a specific time period. The teachers and principal determine the best schedule for recognition.
TERRIFIC is an acronym meaning: Thoughtful Enthusiastic Respectful Responsible Inclusive Friendly Inquisitive Capable
