PDHPE K–6 sample units align with the department’s scope and sequence. The structure follows NESA’s sample whole school curriculum plan and is organised on an 8-term-per-stage basis. Eight sample units for Stage 2 will be released in a phased approach across 2025 and 2026.
This unit teaches students about safety strategies at home, school, and in the community, including road safety behaviours. They create written texts to promote safety and explore the physical, social, and emotional changes of growing up, identifying trusted adults and reliable sources for support. In PE, students learn skills and strategies in different types of games and how to be inclusive in physical activity to cater for the different ways people move.
This unit teaches students how stereotypes shape attitudes and how connections with family, community, and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultures support relationships and wellbeing. Students learn and apply road safety strategies. They explore physical, social, and emotional changes, and recognise personal strengths that help them overcome challenges. In both PDH and PE, they practise goal setting, respectful interpersonal skills, and teamwork to enhance positive interactions, inclusion, and cooperation.
