The Fit for Life curriculum is constructed to value, develop and maintain positive physical activity behaviours for life. This semester-based course delivers physical, psychological, social and cognitive health and wellbeing benefits for males through a variety of experiences including off campus Yoga, Pilates, local walking trails, disc golf, Les Mills classes (RPM, Body Pump, etc.) and group fitness activities.
This elective has an integrated approach with nutrition and wellbeing through the lens of an adolescent female delivered by specialised female staff and guest speakers. The course aims to promote positive body image and lifelong learning. The integrated course content also develops understandings of a range of help-seeking strategies that support them to access and evaluate health and physical activity information and services.

The following focus areas will be addressed:
- Food and nutrition
