PHYSICAL EDUCATION<br />
Planning and learning in Physical Education<br />
is based on the Australian Curriculum to<br />
ensure students perform and demonstrate the<br />
appropriate skills for their age. With a focus<br />

the <strong>2016</strong> Business Plan providing an inclusive,<br />
safe and positive school culture to ensure<br />
all students have the opportunity to learn,<br />
participate, receive feedback, improve skills,<br />
and achieve success.<br />
A key focus in <strong>2016</strong> has been to improve<br />
and develop moving our body curriculum<br />
outcomes across the school which are the<br />
movement skills and strategies necessary to<br />
