Health and Physical Education develops understanding of the concepts and rationale underpinning HPE as a learning area in schools and other educational and care settings. Students use their knowledge and understanding of the connectedness between physical activity, fitness and learning, to plan, organise, implement and evaluate a 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 that impact on the health of children and families is emphasised through the development of educational resources that promote family and community health and social and mental wellness.
