Quality Physical Activity

Quality Health and Physical Education programs encompass carefully planned movement experiences. These range from fundamental movement skills in the early childhood years of schooling to the development of more specific skills in middle childhood to participation in sport and recreation skills in the adolescent years. Attention to developmentally appropriate learning outcomes will ensure that students of all abilities and interests enjoy, participate in, appreciate and are skilful in play, games, sport, dance and outdoor recreation. A range of papers and background information on principles for developing, implementing and evaluating quality physical education and sport programs in schools is available below.
