The Foundation Level curriculum provides the basis for developing the knowledge, understanding and skills students need to lead healthy, safe and active lives. The content provides opportunities for students to learn about their strengths and describes simple actions they can take to keep themselves and their classmates healthy and safe.
The content explores the people that are important to students and develops students’ capacity to initiate and maintain respectful relationships in different contexts, including at school, at home, in the classroom and when participating in physical activities.
The Foundation Level curriculum provides opportunities for students to learn through movement. The content enables students to develop and practise fundamental movement skills through active play and structured movement activities. This improves competence and confidence in their movement abilities. The content also provides opportunities for students to learn about movement as they participate in physical activity in a range of different settings, including indoor, outdoor and aquatic.
The focus areas to be addressed in Foundation include, but are not limited to:
By the end of Foundation Level, students recognise how they are growing and changing. They identify and describe the different emotions people experience. They identify actions that help them be healthy, safe and physically active. They identify different settings where they can be active and how to move and play safely. They describe how their body responds to movement.
Students use personal and social skills when working with others in a range of activities. They demonstrate, with guidance, practices to keep themselves safe and healthy in different situations and activities. They perform fundamental movement skills and solve movement challenges.
