Registration: 8.15am - 8.45am

Keynote Presentations: 8.45am - 10.00amThe formula to improving children’s numeracy & literacy … Health + Physical Education2 = WellbeingDr Tim Lynch, Monash UniversityThis presentation addresses the significance of being ‘physical’ to optimise wellbeing. Tim reflects on his research and experiences as a HPE and classroom teacher to advocate that the development of holistic health compliments PE, but we need to find balance between the HPE strands in schools. Tim encourages teachers to embrace health, but not at the cost of the ‘physical’. Through investigating various strengths and weaknesses of HPE teachers and HPE implementation in primary schools, Tim invites teachers to reflect on their context, and challenges them to identify if there are possibilities for improvement in HPE?

Enhancing the “E” in HPE: the role of strengths based approaches in the primary yearsDr Louise McCuaig, The University of Queensland

A strengths based approach to health education has been positioned as a foundational philosophy of the new Australian HPE curriculum. This “positive” approach to HPE seeks to focus less on human deficits, societal and individual risk behaviours. Instead, this “positive” approach focuses on the strengths and resources that can be nurtured within young people and their communities to enhance their own and other people’s health and wellbeing. This presentation will outline the foundational principles and practices of a strengths-based approach to the H in HPE, and the unique role and opportunity that primary school teachers can play in strengthening the delivery of an educative HPE.

Morning Tea: 10.00am - 10.15amKey: Early Years (EY), Primary Years (PY), Middle Years (MY)

Session 1: 10.15am - 11.15am1.1 The passion to lead – PE teachers leading a whole school approach can optimise the child’s health development (EY, PY, MY)Dr Tim Lynch, Monash UniversityAs HPE advocates we strive to provide opportunities for what is in the best interest of the child within the expectations of the curriculum framework, in class time and for action beyond the classroom. To provide the child with a holistic health experience we cannot operate alone. (H)PE teachers can use their passion to lead and manage, so that a whole school approach can optimise the child’s health development. Continuing on from the keynote, common HPE implementation barriers are explored and possible strategies discussed.

1.2 Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility through Physical Activity (EY, PY, MY)Rick Baldock, ACHPER (SA)The Australian Curriculum: HPE states that “In Health and Physical Education, students develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to strengthen their sense of self, and build and manage satisfying relationships”. This session provides an approach to support your work to develop a range of skills and understanding to enable students to work collaboratively and thrive socially.

1.3 Updates in Nutrition and Health (PY, MY)Kathryn Jackson, Flinders UniversityNutrition information can be a minefield to navigate. In this presentation, new nutrition guidelines are explained, and applied to health in a teaching context. Common nutrition myths will also be discussed and explained.

1.4 What am I missing? Understanding the anxious child (EY, PY, MY)Anne-Marie Coughlin, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)

Many children in our classrooms experience various symptoms of anxiety on a day to day basis. This session will unravel the different types of anxiety, the various ways anxiety may present in the school setting and strategies for managing these children.

1.5 Assessment in PE (EY, PY)Kylie Newbold, Parkside Primary SchoolAs PE teachers we are always observing how our students perform a range of skills but how do we know what they are thinking, can they reflect, can they provide feedback about their own performance and set themselves goals, can they provide feedback to their peers etc? During this presentation we will share a range of ways we can help our students move forward with their learning.

1.6 Team Handball (PY, MY)Travis Henderson, Saint David’s School

Handball is a fast-paced, high scoring Olympic Sport where players pass, throw, catch and dribble to invade the other teams area and score goals. This will be a fun, practical games based session to take back for your students to enjoy.

Session 2: 11.20am - 12.20pm2.1 Designing strengths-based units of work from primary schools – from oral health to fitness capacities (EY, PY, MY)Dr Louise McCuaig, The University of Queensland

This workshop will first review some fundamental principles of the strengths-based approaches underpinning the Australian Curriculum: HPE. Drawing on this knowledge, participants will explore a range of contemporary Australian youth “health issues” and the ways in which such health issues can be re-imagined and re-oriented to reflect a strengths-based approach to primary school HPE. Importantly, participants will be provided with a series of meta-curriculum design steps that will facilitate their future endeavours in constructing units of work that focus on or contribute to HPE learning outcomes.

2.2 Basketball using a ‘game sense approach’ (PY, MY)Kylie Newbold, Parkside Primary SchoolThis session will work through a unit of work that has a focus on using the ‘game sense’ approach to develop basketball skills and understanding of the game. You will take away a unit of work, you may learn a new game or think about a new strategy that will enhance your current teaching practice.

2.3 Investigating the spiritual dimension in HPE (EY, PY, MY)Dr Tim Lynch, Monash UniversityHealth is comprised of multiple dimensions – physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual health. If HPE develops all dimensions of health then what does the spiritual dimension look like? Definitions of ‘spirituality’ will be investigated, as will research connecting HPE and Religious Education within Catholic Education schools. This connection is significant as Religious Education is often perceived as the foundation to the life of Catholic schools. Can we do more with the HPE – spiritual health dimension in Catholic/Christian or religious schools? What about the spiritual health dimension in government schools?

2.4 Tips for teaching athletics (EY, PY, MY)Shane Pill, Flinders UniversityThis workshop will demonstrate a simple-to-complex progression for teaching throwing field events, including task modification for representation of the event for where teachers want to teach the tenets of athletics but not the throwing sports themselves. The workshop will also examine running and jumping technique and practices to develop the mechanics of those actions. Links to science will be made through the biomechanics of the actions to demonstrate curriculum integration between PE and Science.

2.5 FMS Assessment (EY, PY)James Goldy and Mark Bowman, St Francis School, Lockleys

Assessment in Physical Education can be challenging. This session will offer an opportunity to participate in game based activities and activity stations that focus on Fundamental Movement Skills and assessment.

Keynote Presentation: 1.00pm - 1.30pmAustralian Curriculum: HPE- What does achievement look like in the new curriculum? Tracy Zilm, ACARAThe next important stage of the Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education will be the development and publication of student work samples. These work samples will demonstrate levels of achievement across the six bands of the HPE curriculum Foundation to Year 10. This presentation will explain how participating teachers are being supported to use the Australian Curriculum when they generate assessment tasks for units of work from which work samples can be harvested. Not only does the process result in increased familiarisation with the Australian Curriculum but it also assists teachers in their professional judgements about student achievement.

Session 3: 1.40pm - 2.40pm3.1 Australian Curriculum 4-7 Specialised Movement Skills & Strategies (PY, MY)Rick Baldock and Tracy Zilm, ACHPER (SA) / ACARA
