Year 1 Syllabus
Year Level Description
In Year 1, the content builds on the learning from Pre-primary and supports students to better understand their personal identities and how these change over time. Students learn about physical changes to the body as they grow and why it is important to eat a healthy diet and participate in regular physical activity. They develop strategies to keep healthy and safe, and skills to enhance their interactions with others. Opportunities are given to explore health messages in the media and how they influence choices and behaviours.
Students focus on continuing to develop fundamental movement skills to use space more effectively and explore ways to select, transfer and apply simple movement skills. They learn about changes to the body when exercising, and work cooperatively to learn new skills and solve movement challenges through games and physical activities.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop, enhance and exhibit attitudes and values that promote a healthy lifestyle.
Personal, social and community health
Being healthy, safe and active
Personal strengths and how these change over time (ACPPS015)
The strengths of others and how they contribute to positive outcomes, such as games and physical activities (ACPPS015)
Ways in which the body changes as individuals grow older (ACPPS016)
Strategies to use when help is needed
For example:
- dialling 000 in an emergency and providing relevant information
- reading basic safety signs
- accessing a safety house or a trusted network
- asking a trusted adult
The benefits of healthy eating and regular physical activity on health and wellbeing (ACPPS018)
Communicating and interacting for health and well being
Appreciation and encouragement of the behaviour of others through the use of:
- manners
- positive language
- praise
(ACPPS019)
Positive ways to react to their own emotions in different situations, such as:
- walking away
- seeking help
- remaining calm
(ACPPS020)
Strategies to use when needing to seek, give or deny permission are practised.
For example:
- saying 'yes' and 'no' in an assertive manner, and using non-verbal body cues and gestures
- interacting with others in a fair and respectful way in play and other activities, regardless of differences in gender, abilities, race or personality
Movement and physical activity
Moving our body
Fundamental movement skills involving the control of objects in simple games:
- kick
- catch
- bounce
(ACPMP027)
Understanding movement
Physical changes to the body when exercising, such as:
- raised heart rate
- increased breathing rate
(ACPMP028)
Ways to maintain a balanced position while performing various skills, such as throwing or running (ACPMP029)
Learning through movement
Strategies that will assist with involving everyone in games (ACPMP030)
Cooperation skills in partner and group work during physical activity practices (ACPMP030)
Alternative ways in which tasks can be performed when solving movement challenges (ACPMP031)
Simple rules and fair play in partner, group activities and minor games (ACPMP032)
Achievement standard
Health Education
At Standard, students identify what constitutes an emergency or unsafe situation and apply a range of appropriate strategies to access help, in order to keep healthy and safe.
While interacting with others, students provide a suitable response to encourage positive behaviour which could include using manners, positive language or praise.
Physical Education
At Standard, students perform a number of fundamental movement skills, including body management, locomotor and object control skills. They apply these skills when they participate in simple games or physical activities.
Students provide a simple description of the physical changes to their body when they are physically active. They follow rules, participate cooperatively and demonstrate fair play in simple games and physical activities.
