Health and Physical Education

In Year 7 HPE this term, we are focusing on Personal Identities, Cultural Games and Social Dance. In theory, students explore ‘who they are’ to develop a sense of personal identity. In practical, students examine the cultural and historical significance of physical activities and examine how connecting to the environment can enhance health and wellbeing. 

In Year 8 HPE this term, we are focusing on Mental Health and Wellbeing, European Handball and Tchoukball. In theory, students will understand challenges around positive and negative mental health and wellbeing, and how it can effect young adolescent’s decision making to engage in risk taking and erratic behaviours. In practical, students will perform a variety of body and movement concepts in the sports of European Handball and Tchoukball.  

Overall, we look forward to seeing how our Year 7 and 8 can demonstrate understanding of persosonal, social and community health, as well as demonstrating their practical skills and abilities. 

Science

In Year 8 Maths, students are continuing to develop their understanding of algebra and linear equations. They will also be reviewing their graphing skills and revisiting probability concepts.
