Length: Semester

Recommended background: None

Stage 1 Physical Education focuses on learning through an integrated approach in which opportunities are provided for students to undertake, and learn through, a wide range of authentic physical activities (e.g. sports, theme-based games, laboratories, fitness and recreational activities). Students explore movement concepts and strategies through these physical activities to promote performance and participation outcomes.

Stage 1 assesses students based on physiology, performance improvement and an investigation on inclusivity.

This is the first semester course for Stage 1 PE, to allow for a full year of Physical Education. The course will be tailored to the interests of the students, with a focus on analysis and evaluation. This course leads to further studies at Stage 2 in Physical Education, Integrated Learning: Sports Studies and Community Connections.
