Year 7 - Health and Physical Education

Overview

In Year 7 Health and Physical Education, students take part in a wide range of activities designed to build fundamental movement skills, including strength balance, coordination and teamwork.

Students will participate in a variety of sports and activities, including Netball, T-ball, Soccer, AFL, Minor Games, Volleyball, Cricket and Fitness. Throughout the year, students will also explore a range of health topics and investigate current local, national, and global issues during theory lessons, helping them develop knowledge and skills to support healthy and active lifestyles.
