Background
This Teaching and Learning Exemplar (the exemplar) has been developed by the School Curriculum
and Standards Authority (the Authority) as part of the School Education Act Employees (Teachers and
Administrators) General Agreement 2017 (Clause 61.1–61.3).
This Health Education exemplar for Year 5 articulates the content in the Outline and approaches to
teaching, learning and assessment reflective of the Principles of Teaching, Learning and Assessment.
This exemplar presents planning for eight weeks of teaching and learning for each of the four terms,
with a time allocation of one hour per week. The planning includes suggested assessment points.
Teaching
The year-level syllabuses for each learning area deliver a sequential and age-appropriate progression
of learning and have the following key elements:
a year-level description that provides an overview of the context for teaching and learning in the
year
a series of content descriptions, populated through strands and sub-strands, that sets out the
knowledge, understanding and skills that teachers are expected to teach and students are
expected to learn
an achievement standard that describes an expected level that the majority of students are
achieving by the end of a given year of schooling. An achievement standard describes the quality
of learning (e.g. the depth of conceptual understanding and the sophistication of skills) that
indicate the student is well-placed to commence the learning required in the next year.
Assessing
Assessment, both formative and summative, is an integral part of teaching and learning. Assessment
should arise naturally out of the learning experiences provided to students. In addition, assessment
should provide regular opportunities for teachers to reflect on student achievement and progress. As
part of the support it provides for teachers, this exemplar includes suggested assessment points. It is
the teacher’s role to consider the contexts of their classroom and students, the range of assessments
required, and the sampling of content selected to allow their students the opportunity to
demonstrate achievement in relation to the year-level achievement standard. Teachers are best
placed to make decisions about whether the suggested assessment points are used as formative or
summative assessment and/or for moderation purposes.
Draft | Health and Physical Education | Health Education | Year 5 | Teaching and Learning Exemplar 1
Reflecting
Reflective practice involves a cyclic process during which teachers continually review the effects of
their teaching and make appropriate adjustments to their planning. The cycle involves planning,
teaching, observing, reflecting and replanning. Throughout this cycle, teachers adjust their plans as
they work with their students to maximise learning throughout the year. As such, a long-term set of
tightly planned lessons is not conducive to reflective practice.
This exemplar supports reflective practice and provides flexibility for teachers in their planning. The
exemplar shows how content can be combined and revisited throughout the year. Teachers will
choose to expand or contract the amount of time spent on developing the required understandings
and skills according to their reflective processes and professional judgements about their students’
evolving learning needs.
This exemplar provides a suggested approach for the delivery of the curriculum and reflects the
rationale, aims and content structure of the learning area. When planning the learning experiences,
consideration has been given to ensuring that they are inclusive and can be used in, or adapted for,
individual circumstances. It is the classroom teacher who is best placed to consider and respond to
(accommodate) the diversity of their students. Reflecting on the learning experiences offered in this
exemplar will enable teachers to make appropriate adjustments (where applicable) to better cater
for students’ gender, personal interests, achievement levels, socio-economic, cultural and language
backgrounds, experiences and local area contexts.

The general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities
The Outline incorporates seven general capabilities and three cross-curriculum priorities that can be
utilised to connect learning across the eight learning areas.
The general capabilities and cross-curriculum priorities encompass the knowledge, skills, behaviours
and dispositions that will assist students to live and work successfully in the twenty-first century.
Teachers may find opportunities to incorporate the capabilities and priorities into their teaching and
learning programs.
The full description and exemplification of the general capabilities can be found on the Authority
website: https://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/home/teaching/general-capabilities-over/general-

Health and Physical Education: Health Education
The Western Australian Curriculum: Health and Physical Education provides opportunities for
students to be part of a healthy, active population and experience the personal and social benefits of
living a healthy, active and fulfilling life.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum comprises two strands; Personal, social and
community health and Movement and physical activity. The content in each strand is further
organised under three interrelated sub-strands.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum has been shaped by five interrelated propositions that
are informed by a strong evidence base. The Health Education Teaching and Learning Exemplar has
been informed by these same propositions to include:
Focus on educative purposes
Take a strengths-based approach
Value movement
Develop health literacy
Include a critical inquiry approach.
Consistent with a strengths-based approach, a successful Health and Physical Education program is
one where teachers select ongoing contexts that are accessible and meaningful to students as a
focus for building on their particular strengths and interests.
While the exemplar has been written for one hour per week, education systems/sector, including the
Department of Education, Catholic Education Western Australia, and the Association of Independent
Schools of Western Australia, may have programs additional to the Western Australian Health and
Physical Education curriculum that are taught in schools.

Ways of teaching
This Year 5 exemplar provides a suggested approach to planning for the delivery of the Health
Education curriculum and reflects the rationale, aims and content structure of the Health Education
curriculum. The 'ways of teaching' aim to support teachers with planning for curriculum delivery
across the years of school, with the teaching in each year extending learning in previous years.
The 'ways of teaching' complement the principles of teaching and learning in the Outline. The
principles focus on the provision of a school and class environment that is intellectually, socially and
physically supportive of learning. The principles assist whole-school planning and individual
classroom practice.
In consultation with the school community, teachers are encouraged to select resources that are
relevant and appropriate to the school context, the needs of the school, and the needs of learners.
The mandated Health Education curriculum content is sequenced over four terms in this exemplar.
Draft | Health and Physical Education | Health Education | Year 5 | Teaching and Learning Exemplar 6
The Learning experiences are suggestions: teachers are encouraged to adopt and adapt those ideas
that are suitable and/or relevant to the school context. Where curriculum content is elaborated with
‘such as’ examples, teachers are reminded that these dot points are not the mandated content, they
are suggestions to support the understanding and exemplification of content.
Appendix A provides a list of some of the online resources that teachers may choose to use to
support teaching and learning. Teachers are encouraged to review the materials and make informed
decisions regarding the suitability and appropriateness of these resources for their students.
Further information on ways to teach Health and Physical Education can be found on the Authority
website: https://k10outline.scsa.wa.edu.au/home/teaching/curriculum-browser/health-and-
physical-education/health-and-physical-education-overview/ways-of-teaching.
This sequence of lessons may utilise electronic web-based resources, such as YouTube videos.
Schools are advised to install advertising blocking software prior to using online material.
Additionally, teachers should be present while an electronic resource is in use and close links
immediately after a resource such as a video has played to prevent default ‘auto play’ of additional
videos. Where resources are referred for home study, they should be uploaded through Connect, or
an equivalent system, that filters advertising content.
Ways of assessing
The suggested assessment points included in this exemplar alert teachers to only some of the
opportunities to monitor individual student progress and achievement during day-to-day learning
activities. Teachers can decide whether the suggested assessment points are to be used as learning
experiences, formative or summative assessment or, alternatively, to plan and develop their own
assessments. Information collected from these assessments will allow teachers to monitor student
learning and development to inform future planning, provide a focus for feedback to students,
support discussions with parents, and provide evidence for reporting on student achievement
requirements. Teachers should consider a range of ways in which evidence of student achievement
will be collected in addition to the examples provided in this exemplar. Where possible, the
assessment criteria should be developed with the students and made visible to guide their work.
In addition to the suggested assessment points, Appendix B and Appendix C provide teachers with
examples of assessments that can be used for both assessment and moderation purposes. Both
assessments provide teachers with the resources, or links to resources, required for students to
complete the task, and are accompanied by marking keys to ensure teachers make valid and reliable
judgements on student achievement. The exemplar supports the prior learning required for students
to complete the tasks in both Appendix B and Appendix C.

Year level description
In Year 5, the content provides students with the opportunity to focus on the influence of emotional
responses on relationships and to develop skills and strategies to manage changing relationships
occurring at key transition points in their lives. They learn about ways they can take action to
promote safe and healthy lifestyle practices in a range of contexts. They also focus on the importance
of preventive measures to enhance their own health and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Students develop and refine greater proficiency across a range of specialised movement skills,
strategies and tactics. They focus on improving awareness of body position in relation to objects,
other people and space, and assess how this can help them to successfully achieve movement
outcomes or goals.
Students examine the different roles and responsibilities associated with physical activity
participation, and continue to apply ethical behaviour that is consistent with promoting fair play and
championing appropriate sporting conduct.
The Health and Physical Education curriculum provides opportunities for students to develop,
enhance and exhibit attitudes and values that promote a healthy lifestyle.
Health Education
At Standard, students identify practical strategies for promoting a healthy lifestyle and adapting to
changing situations that occur as they grow and mature.
They identify emotional responses appropriate to different situations and apply skills and strategies
to manage relationships over time.
Physical Education
At Standard, students perform a variety of refined fundamental movement skills. They implement
simple tactics in physical activity and game contexts and respond to challenges involving people,
objects and space to achieve an intended outcome.
Students explain some of the benefits of regular physical activity and maintaining physical fitness in
relation to physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. They identify the effects on movement skills
when effort, space, time, objects and people are manipulated. Students demonstrate ethical
behaviour and use this to be effective when taking on the role of player, coach or referee/umpire.

develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to make healthy, safe and active choices. Students
have the opportunity to apply helpful thinking strategies to help manage and deal with different
contexts and situations.
Week 5
Learning experiences
In Week 5, students explore and understand relationships they may be a part of. The learning
experiences focus on helping students understand different relationships, and their role in the
relationships may differ. The learning activities are educative, and promote strategies and ideas
about how new friendships can be developed.
Week 6
Learning experiences
In Week 6, students explore relationship and friendship changes and the emotional impact this may
have.
Week 7
Learning experiences
In Week 7, the learning experience provides the opportunity for students to apply their knowledge

Instructions for teacher
Teaching the learning area content begins in Week 1 of Term 4.
Week 1
Learning experiences
In Week 1 students will look at reliable sources of information that inform health, safety and
wellbeing. They will navigate the Australian Government Department of Health website and locate
information about exercise and physical activity. Students will identify the suggested time guidelines
and discuss how close they think they are to meeting the guidelines. Students are required to record
the time spent engaged in physical activity for the week, at home. Teachers may advise caregivers of
the requirements and request support for students to complete this task. Additionally, students will
begin to collate general information about healthy lifestyles from reliable sources. This will be used
to create an infographic over the next few weeks. Teachers may use the collation of information as
part of teaching and learning across other learning areas, where relevant and appropriate.
Week 2
Learning experiences
In Week 2, students will review their record of physical activity and refine the information they are
collecting. Additional information and instruction will be provided in class about the data collected,
understanding of rate of exertion during engagement in physical activity and meeting the
recommended guidelines. Students consider the barriers that may hinder the time they spend
engaged in physical activity, as well set goals to improve and/or maintain their current levels of
physical activity.
Students are provided with additional time to research and collate information about strategies that
promote a safe, healthy lifestyle.
Week 3
Learning experiences
In Week 3, students will independently complete the Part 2 Weekly summary. Teachers may explain
and discuss the questions with students and clarify ideas and concepts. Students should have almost
completed the infographic for submission in Week 4.
Week 4
Learning experiences
In Week 4, the summative part of the task is scheduled. Teachers are encouraged to read and explain
the questions to students, however students are required to complete the task independently.
Students are required to submit the infographic in Week 4. Appendix C contains a checklist to help
teachers assess the infographic as students completed the task in collaboration with others. Teachers
may refine and redevelop the marking key to assess individual students and collate more detail if
required.
