Year 1 Health and Physical Education ASHPEY12

This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 1 Health and Physical Education by the end of the year. Teachers can use it to guide assessment design, collect evidence of learning, and ensure planning stays aligned with the Australian Curriculum v9.

By the end of Year 2, students explain how personal qualities contribute to identities. They describe how emotional responses affect their own and others' feelings. They demonstrate skills and describe strategies required to develop respectful relationships. Students apply protective behaviours and help-seeking strategies to keep themselves and others safe. They explain why health information is important for making choices. Students apply fundamental movement skills in different movement situations and explain how they move with objects and in space effectively. They describe factors that make physical activity beneficial. Students develop and apply rules while collaborating with others in a range of movement contexts.
