YEAR 9 OVERVIEW In Year 9 Health, students critically examine the impact of social, cultural, and identity-based factors on health and wellbeing. They explore community attitudes toward health services, stigma, and personal safety, evaluating the role of support networks and individual responsibility in maintaining health. Discussions, practical scenarios, and research projects help students develop a well-rounded perspective on personal and societal health challenges. Year 9 Physical Education is structured to provide students with more autonomy in their activity choices, fostering engagement in both competitive and non-competitive settings. They refine their skills in selected sports, integrating motor skills, tactical knowledge, and strategic thinking to improve performance. Students assess their fitness levels, explore opportunities for ongoing participation in physical activity within their communities, and develop a deeper appreciation for an active and healthy lifestyle. This course promotes teamwork, resilience, and personal growth through a variety of physical pursuits.
