Title: Healthy Active Lifestyles
Pre-requisites: Nil
Outcome levels: TBA
Coordinator: Mr Bob Kemp

Our health is our most valuable asset and studies show that good health is closely linked to the pursuit of a balanced, active lifestyle.  In this unit of study, students through their participation in a variety of physical activities and theoretical tasks, learn and develop skills to maintain and improve their health and to value healthy, active sport or recreative pursuits. This unit provides a broad scope to assist all students to make and develop healthy lifestyle choices and is a pre-requisite to more detailed selective studies in this field in years 9 and 10.
