Physical Education Studies contributes to the development of students’ physical, social and emotional growth. In the Physical Education Studies ATAR course students learn about physiological, psychological and biomechanical principles, and apply these to analyse and improve personal and group performances in physical activities. Throughout the course, students learn through integrated written, oral and active learning experiences. The course also provides students with opportunities to develop skills that will enable them to pursue personal interests and potential in physical activity as athletes, coaches, officials, administrators and/or volunteers.

Foundation
The course focuses on providing students with opportunities to develop skills and understandings related to a healthy lifestyle. This course is for students who have not demonstrated the numeracy standard in the OLNA. Through the development of health literacy, students are better equipped to make appropriate and well informed health related decisions and to develop knowledge, understanding and skills which support them to make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of themselves and others.
Students will learn about the factors influencing health, wellbeing and physical activity participation, and develop strategies to support them to make health enhancing decisions and adopt active and healthy pursuits, now and across the lifespan. The course supports the development of students’ literacy and numeracy skills and provides them with opportunities to study in contexts such as health promotion, outdoor adventure activities and improving performance in individual and team games and sports.

Preliminary
The course focuses on providing students with opportunities to enhance their health, safety, wellbeing and physical activity participation. Throughout the course, students are encouraged to strengthen their sense of self as well as build and maintain satisfying relationships. The course assists with their development of resilience, decision making and taking actions to promote their health, safety and physical activity participation. Opportunities are provided for students to use resources for themselves and the communities with which they identify and to which they belong.
Students may acquire movement skills that enable them to participate in a range of physical activities as a foundation for lifelong participation. Through this, they have opportunities to develop an appreciation of the significance of physical activity, outdoor recreation and sport in Australian society. Movement is a powerful medium for learning through which students can acquire, practise and refine personal, interpersonal, behavioural and social skills.
