Written specifically for the new QLD Physical Education syllabus, Senior Physical Education for Queensland blends key knowledge and theory with physical activities and practical skills application to guide students to success in their internal and external assessments.
- Comprehensively covers the new syllabus to provide the perfect balance between theory and practice while embracing all three dimensions of movement: learning about movement (theory), learning in movement (physical) and learning through movement (working with others).
- Provides an accessible interpretation of the syllabus, written by practising teachers with experience in curriculum development, and who genuinely understand what works in today’s PE classroom.
- Embraces a genuine inquiry approach, with chapters organised around the three stages of inquiry (engage and understand, apply and analyse, and evaluate and justify).
- Includes dedicated inquiry process chapters that introduce students to the key inquiry skills they will develop and apply throughout the course.
- Fully supports students as they prepare for internal and external assessments with a great balance of theory and practical activities, exam-style questions and revision tools.
