Physical Education (Primary Education)

The Physical Education major provides you with knowledge and skills in developing movement skills, physical activities and movement concepts as a foundation for lifelong physical activity participation and enhanced performance. The major offers you a challenging, enjoyable and physically active area of study. Movement and physical activity concepts are informed by a range of movement sciences including: the biophysical (anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, skill acquisition, growth and motor development) and the psycho-social (history, sociology, psychology). You will also develop knowledge and skills to support participation and performance in a range of movement and physical activity contexts, including fundamental movement skills, games and sports, aquatics, rhythmic and expressive movement, athletics, and fitness.
