Health and Physical Education

PE

The Physical Education course at Calwell High School aims to provide students with lifelong approaches to a healthy lifestyle. Students benefit from the Health Curriculum because it provides them with the skills and knowledge to recognise the need to make responsible and informed decisions about their personal health.

Students improve their decision-making and problem solving skills within physical activity and sport related areas. They are encouraged to accept responsibility for their own decisions and actions, to develop self-respect, self-discipline and tolerance towards others.

Participation in a variety of sports enables the development of basic competence and enjoyment in a range of physical activities. The content of the Health Curriculum challenges student thinking and creativity. It is strategically sequenced to be relevant and meet the needs of student learning as they progress through their adolescent years.
