Subject Description
Physical Education develops students' understanding of the science of movement through practical, hands-on learning. Students investigate how the body moves and performs, applying movement concepts and strategies across a range of physical activities. They collect and analyse information to improve performance, solve movement challenges, and make informed decisions about participation, health and physical activity.
This subject provides a strong foundation for further study and careers in areas such as exercise science, biomechanics, allied health, psychology, teaching, coaching, sport development, sport management, marketing and journalism.
