ABLEWA Stage A
Year Stage Description
The Stage A curriculum provides the basis for developing knowledge, understanding and skills for students to lead healthy, safe and active lives. Students learn about themselves and experience simple actions and activities to keep themselves healthy and safe.
Students develop their awareness of others and explore the importance of familiar people.
Students learn through movement in a range of settings. They experience fundamental movement skills through structured movement activities and explore their environment. This establishes an awareness of body movements and their movement abilities.
For Stage A, teachers need to select focus areas that are age appropriate and reflect the physical, social and emotional maturation of the student. The focus areas include, but are not limited to:
- alcohol and other drugs (AD)
- food and nutrition (FN)
- health benefits of physical activity (HBPA)
- mental health and wellbeing (MH)
- relationships and sexuality (RS)
- safety (S)
- active play and minor games (AP)
- challenge and adventure activities (CA)
- games and sports (GS)
- fundamental movement skills (FMS)
- lifelong physcial activities (LLPA)
- rhythmic and expressive movement activities (RE).
