This subject is an introduction to teaching Health and Physical Education (HPE), the Arts and Technology key learning areas in Years 1 to 9. The Arts and HPE provide opportunities for embodied, active and collaborative learning. Together they provide a holistic view of well being which includes the physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual and aesthetic. Students will have the opportunity to engage in and reflect upon learning experiences with the intention of developing knowledge, skills and attitudes required to teach and facilitate learning in these key learning areas. Where relevant, integration of HPE, the Arts and Technology will be promoted.
