Year 4 Syllabus
Year Level Description
In Year 4, the content provides opportunities for students to focus on personal, social and emotional factors that contribute to becoming persistent and resilient. Students learn about specific strategies to promote personal, social and emotional health and wellbeing, and positive relationships. They develop ways to foster respect and empathy.
Students focus on developing greater proficiency of movement across a range of skills and apply these with confidence and competence to a variety of physical activities. They continue to combine skills to create movement patterns and apply strategies to achieve successful outcomes, or solve movement challenges. They broaden their knowledge of the benefits of regular physical activity in relation to health and wellbeing.Students are taught to include others in all activities and how to recognise the consequences of personal and team actions, responding appropriately to ensure fair participation for all.
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 identify personal behaviours that promote health, safety and wellbeing in unsafe or uncomfortable situations. They know where to go or who to speak with to get help in a variety of different environments, including at home and at school.
Students explain behaviours which convey respect and empathy and contribute to positive relationships. They interpret health information and messages, and discuss ways these can influence health decisions and behaviours.
Physical Education
At Standard, students perform a variety of fundamental movement skills, including locomotor and object control skills, and combine them with simple tactics when participating in physical activities and minor games to solve movement challenges. They improve their performance in a variety of contexts through the application of previously learned skills.
Students describe the benefits of participating in regular physical activity, including improved sleep and social contact. In physical activities and minor games, they apply strategies for working cooperatively and follow basic rules to ensure safety and fairness for all.
