Healthy Active Lifestyles

Code: HPE001
Title: Healthy Active Lifestyles
Pre-requisites: Nil
Coordinator: Miss Amba Mellish

In HPE001, students use their interests in and experiences of health and physical activity issues to explore how the dimensions of health are dynamic, interrelated and interdependent. They develop knowledge, skills and processes to promote health and wellbeing, actively engage in physical activity and enhance personal development.

In all of our junior HPE subjects students use the essential processes of Ways of Working to develop and demonstrate their Knowledge and Understanding. Students select and use tools and technologies, including information and communication technologies (ICTs).

Students demonstrate evidence of their learning over time and in relation to the following assessable elements: knowledge and understanding; investigating; planning; implementing and applying; and reflecting. (Adapted from Queensland Studies Authority's QCARF HPE essential learnings by the end of year 9)
