HPE in the Australian Curriculum

ACHPER has responded in a number of ways to the draft Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education Foundation to Year 10.

As well as providing a response from the National Board, ACHPER Branches were involved in video conferencing workshops that gave ACARA direct and purposeful feedback on the rationale, structure and detailed content of the draft curriculum. ACHPER also encouraged members to respond individually, as school departments, and also on a regional basis.
