Stage 2

HPE - Physical Education

Course Overview

Stage 2 Physical Education allows students to explore the science, psychology, and social aspects of human movement through active participation and reflection. This subject primarily focuses on volleyball as the context for practical learning and assessment. It is an ideal pathway for students interested in sport science, physiotherapy, teaching, coaching, or working with communities to promote health and wellbeing.

With a focus on learning in, through, and about movement, students actively engage in practical experiences while investigating strategies to improve participation and performance. This subject helps develop key skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and self-reflection, all of which are transferable to careers in health, sport, fitness, education, and allied health fields.

It is recommended that students successfully complete at least 1 semester of Stage 1 Physical Education prior to enrolling in Stage 2 Physical Education in 2nd or 3rd Year.
