Subject Description
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 male delivered by specialised male 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. Students will use a mixture of the Barrie Holmes Stadium, general classrooms and local fitness centres.
The following focus areas will be addressed:
- Food and nutrition
- Health benefits of physical activity
- Mental health and wellbeing
- Lifelong physical activities
- To provide opportunities for all students to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle through personalised learning and links to the wider community.
- To encourage all students to become physically confident and health literate in order to build resilience and embed values such as respectful relationships, pride and life-long learning.
Practical and theoretical assessments are based on Australian Curriculum Achievement Standards.
