By the end of Year 4, students identify influences that strengthen identities and describe strategies to manage emotions, changes and transitions. They apply skills and strategies to interact respectfully with others. They describe the influences that inclusion and stereotypes have on choices and actions. Students describe and apply protective behaviours and help-seeking strategies to keep themselves and others safe online and offline. They interpret health information to apply strategies to enhance their own and others’ health, safety, relationships and wellbeing. Students apply fundamental movement skills and demonstrate movement concepts across a range of situations. They adapt movement strategies to enhance movement outcomes. Students examine factors that influence participation and propose strategies to incorporate regular physical activity into their own and others’ lives. They demonstrate fair play and inclusion through a range of roles in movement contexts.
