Health and Physical Education develops an understanding of the concepts and rationale underpinning HPE as a learning area in schools and other educational and care settings. You will use your knowledge and understanding of the connectedness between physical activity, fitness and learning, to plan, organise, implement and evaluate physical activity and motor development program for young 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, childcare centres and education and care professionals in promoting individual and community health. An understanding of social issues (including domestic and family violence) that impact the health of children and families is emphasised in this unit. Your understanding of contemporary social issues will inform the development of educational resources that promote family and community health and social and mental wellness.
