Albion Park High School
Senior Subject Selections for 2027
PDHPE
Health and Movement Science
The Health and Movement Science course (formerly known as PDHPE) is a 2 unit, ATAR subject which is predominantly theory based with some practical applications. Health and Movement Science builds on the foundational knowledge, understanding and skills developed in the PDHPE K–10 course, with the aim to develop in each student a capacity to think about and act critically in regard to key issues related to health and movement. This enables them to make informed decisions that contribute to healthy and active lifestyles for individuals and communities, and support wellbeing.
The Year 11 Preliminary course consists of two focus areas (Health for individuals and communities and The body and mind in action), a Collaborative Investigation and two Depth Studies.
The Year 12 HSC course consists of two focus areas (Health in an Australian and global context and Training for improved performance) and two Depth Studies.
Community & Family Studies
The beauty of studying CAFS is that there are no rights or wrongs. We all live our own lives and have different life experiences, and through our discussion and study in this course, our identity as young individuals in our society will emerge.
Within CAFS we will look at personal skills such as organisation, planning, decision-making and communication, as well as the different roles we play in groups. The relationships we have with others, leadership, conflict resolution and family structures are also a focus of our work.
In Year 12, we will study the groups in our society who are marginalised, as well as issues relating to parenting and caring and the workplace.
Put simply, CAFS is a study of real life - of which YOU are your own expert.
