Subject Description
Stage 2 Physical Education has three focus areas:
- Focus Area 1: In movement
- Focus Area 2: Through movement
- Focus Area 3: About movement
Students explore the participation in, and performance of, human physical activities. It is an experiential subject in which students explore their physical capacities and investigate the factors that influence and improve participation and performance outcomes, which lead to greater movement confidence and competence.
Physical activities can include sports, theme-based games, fitness and recreational activities.
The use of technology is integral to the collection of data such as video footage, heart rate monitors, GPS, fitness batteries, and game statistics. Students apply their understanding of movement concepts to evaluate the data and implement strategies to improve participation and/or performance.
