Junior Secondary Curriculum
YEAR 8 HPE
HEALTH
Students investigate strategies and resources to manage changes and transitions and their impact on identities as they progress through adolescence. Students investigate various health related areas, including gender, sexuality, respectful relationships, drugs and alcohol, in order to assist and develop their understanding so that they are able to make informed and healthy choices now and into the future. Case studies are utilised within this program to allow students to align the concepts with potential real - life scenarios and help - seeking behaviours.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Students participate in both practical and theoretical sessions to develop their skills and confidence. This establishes a holistic skill - set that will equip them with the tools for future success. Within practicals, students work on their decision making and the execution of skills under pressure. Students learn to modify rules and scoring systems to allow for fair play, safety and inclusive participation. Students are exposed to different roles within teams and explore offensive and defensive strategies. Theoretical concepts explored include projectile motion, game sense and health and skill - related fitness components.
