HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Health and Physical Education is a unique subject that allows students to develop knowledge and skills that can be used to improve the quality and longevity of their lives. The students at Ave Maria College had many opportunities to participate in a wide range of learning activities that exposed them to these lifelong skills first hand. These experiences included visiting the Royal Women’s Hospital Maternity ward to experience prenatal and early childhood development Year 11 Students developed their physical health during new experiences like learning to play racquet ball and squash in Year 9, learning to surf, stand up paddle board, cross-country ski and canoe in VCE Outdoor and Environmental Studies. Students also developed an appreciation of mental, emotional and social health when looking at the impact of bullying, identity and harm minimisation on themselves and others. These and many more learning activities would not be possible without the professionalism, dedication and hard work of the wonderful Health and Physical Education staff who support the development of every student in their care.
