What Year 3 Health & PE students should achieve
Coverage is judged against the achievement standard — not by ticking every content description. These are the official Year 3 Health & PE standard sentences this code builds towards:
- They adapt movement strategies to enhance movement outcomes.
- By the end of Year 4, students identify influences that strengthen identities and describe strategies to manage emotions, changes and transitions.
- They describe the influences that inclusion and stereotypes have on choices and actions.
- They interpret health information to apply strategies to enhance their own and others’ health, safety, relationships and wellbeing.
- Students describe and apply protective behaviours and help-seeking strategies to keep themselves and others safe online and offline.
- They demonstrate fair play and inclusion through a range of roles in movement contexts.
