Year 5 Health and Physical Education ASHPEY56

This Achievement Standard describes what students are expected to know and do in Year 5 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 6, students explain how different factors influence identities. They propose strategies to manage emotions, developmental changes and transitions. They propose strategies to demonstrate respect, empathy and inclusion. They explain how stereotypes influence roles and responsibilities. Students explain how communication skills, protective behaviours and help-seeking strategies keep themselves and others safe online and offline. They analyse health information to refine strategies to enhance their own and others’ health, safety, relationships and wellbeing. Students refine and modify movement skills and apply movement concepts across a range of situations. They transfer movement strategies between situations and evaluate the impact on movement outcomes. Students propose strategies to promote physical activity participation that enhance health, fitness and wellbeing. They describe contributions they can make as a group and team member to support fair play and inclusion across a range of movement contexts.
