Year 3 Syllabus
Year Level Description
In Year 3, the content further develops students' knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to their health, wellbeing and safety. Opportunities are provided for students to explore and strengthen their personal identity and broaden their understanding of physical, social and emotional changes as they grow older. Students practise skills and strategies to promote positive relationships, and interpret the accuracy of health information communicated in the media and online environments.
Students continue to build on previous learning and develop greater proficiency across the range of fundamental movement skills. They combine skills to create cohesive movement patterns and sequences, and develop strategies that support them to achieve physical activity goals. Students are introduced to the benefits of regular physical activity and the impact on health and wellbeing. They also focus on developing personal and social skills, such as cooperation, which support inclusive practices.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop, enhance and exhibit attitudes and values that promote a healthy lifestyle.

Health Education
At Standard, students identify appropriate actions and behaviours, including those used in daily routines that promote health, safety and wellbeing.
Students describe how emotional responses vary in different situations, and behaviours that support positive relationships, such as the ability to show empathy and respect for others.
Physical Education
At Standard, students perform a variety of fundamental movement skills, including locomotor and object control skills, and combine these with simple tactics when participating in physical activities and minor games to achieve an intended outcome.
Students describe the benefits of regular physical activity and fitness to health and wellbeing, including maintenance of a healthy weight and prevention of some diseases. In physical activities and minor games, they apply strategies for working cooperatively, and follow basic rules to ensure activities are safe and fair.
