​​​​​​​​​​The Health and Physical Education Key Learning Area provides the foundation for developing active and informed members of society, capable of managing the interactions between themselves and their social, cultural and physical environments.

Craigslea’s Health and Physical Education courses provide students with excellent educational opportunities. The school has quality facilities complimented by an experienced and committed staff.

Programs in the HPE Key Learning Area at Craigslea are:

  • Student centred
  • Cooperative
  • Flexible
  • Challenging
  • Fun

There is a strong emphasis on participation in physical activity. This recognises that participation in physical activity promotes health and acknowledges the unique role of physical activity as a medium for learning.

The core and elective units in the middle years of schooling offer students a variety of learning experiences in which practical and theoretical aspects of the subject area are integrated. This provides an excellent foundation for the challenge of the senior specialist subjects of Health Education and Physical Education with Recreational Studies and Vocational Education Training (VET) opportunities also available.

​Junior Health and Physical Education

The Junior HPE curriculum at Craigslea is devoted to providing relevant, authentic learning experiences for all students. We strive to integrate the practical elements of the courses with the theoretical concepts to give our students the best possible opportunities to be fully physically educated.

All students in Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 study HPE. A parallel course exists for students in Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 wanting to participate in the signature Volleyball Excellence Program.

All unit offerings from that point on are elective and as such are seen as opportunities for students to fully participate in the development of skills, knowledge and attitudes related to the engagement in physical activity.

The curriculum overview that follows, shows the full Junior Program for HPE at Craigslea SHS. More information on the curriculum outline of the Years 7, 8 and 9 Volleyball Excellence Program can be found on the “Volleyball Excellence Program​” page.
