Students evaluate individual and group tactics, skills and movement patterns and evaluate a range of programs and strategies designed to encourage participation in physical activity.
Students are also able to explain the importance of cooperation, leadership and fair play across a range of health and movement contexts. Students compare and contrast a range of actions that could be undertaken to enhance their own and others’ health, safety and wellbeing. They apply and transfer movement concepts and strategies to new and challenging movement situations. They apply criteria to make judgments about and refine their own specialised movement skills and movement performances. They also work collaboratively to design and apply solutions to movement challenges.
