Health and Physical Education at Mindalk supports students from Foundation to Year 6 to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to flourish as healthy, active and informed young people. Aligned with the Victorian Curriculum 2.0, the program emphasises physical competence, movement understanding and safe decision making. Students learn how their bodies move, how to participate in a wide variety of physical activities, and how to make positive choices that support lifelong health. Through engaging, movement-rich lessons across indoor, outdoor and community environments, students build fitness, confidence and the foundations for ongoing physical activity.
Students participate in a comprehensive program that includes movement skill development, team games, athletics, fitness activities and health education. Lessons focus on building fundamental motor skills, applying movement strategies, understanding safety, and learning how to participate confidently and competently in diverse physical contexts. Students practise cooperation, communication and strategic thinking as they engage in individual and group challenges. With rich opportunities across multiple environments, learners develop adaptability, physical literacy and the knowledge needed to make informed, health-enhancing decisions.
Health and Physical Education strengthens physical development, confidence and lifelong wellbeing. Through structured movement experiences and collaborative challenges, students build resilience, teamwork skills and a positive attitude towards physical activity. Health learning empowers students to make informed choices and understand how daily actions support long term wellbeing. This program enriches the broader Mindalk experience by improving focus, engagement and overall readiness for learning.
