Year 2 Syllabus
Year Level Description
In Year 2, the content supports students to make decisions that enhance and promote personal health and wellbeing. Students focus on becoming more aware of their personal identity and how their social interactions and relationships change over time. They explore a variety of strategies and behaviours to keep safe and healthy. Students further develop social skills, becoming aware of the feelings of others in different situations and demonstrating positive ways to respond, such as including peers in activities. Opportunities are provided to further explore health messages in the media and the ways they influence a healthy, active lifestyle.
Students broaden the range and complexity of fundamental movement skills practised, and gain confidence in applying skills in game situations. Through active participation, they continue to explore changes to the body during exercise, and develop personal and social skills to cooperate with, and include, others in physical activities. They are provided with opportunities to work collaboratively, and develop skills to make positive choices and play fairly with others in physical activity challenges.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop, enhance and exhibit attitudes and values that promote a healthy lifestyle.

Achievement standard
Health Education
At Standard, students list appropriate strategies and behaviours, and outline how they promote health, safety and wellbeing related to personal health practices, such as drinking enough water and getting sufficient sleep each night.
Students interpret the feelings of others and provide a suitable strategy to respond to them, such as including classmates in activities or games.
Physical Education
At Standard, students perform a number of fundamental movement skills, including body management, locomotor and object control skills. They apply a combination of these skills when they participate in simple games or physical activities.
Students describe ways their body reacts and the positive feelings they have when participating in physical activity. They demonstrate positive ways to interact with others in games and describe why rules and fair play are important.
