General Information

Overview

This unit develops understanding of the concepts and rationale underpinning Health and Physical Education as a learning area in primary schools and other educational and care settings. You will use your knowledge and understanding of the connectedness between physical activity, fitness, wellbeing and learning, to plan, organise and evaluate a physical activity and motor development program for children. Investigation of the interaction between individuals and groups and their socio-cultural and economic environments forms the basis for critical reflection on the role of schools and education and care settings in promoting individual and community health. An understanding of social issues that impact on the health and wellbeing of children and families is emphasised through the development of an educational resource that promotes family and community health and social and mental wellness. You will identify strategies that support your own wellbeing as members of the teaching profession. Throughout this unit, you will reflect on how learning and wellbeing are inextricably linked and how a learner’s individual, school and community experiences can significantly impact on their wellbeing.
