The Level D curriculum provides the basis for developing knowledge, understanding and skills for students to lead healthy, safe and active lives. Students learn about their strengths and simple actions they can take to keep themselves and their classmates healthy and safe. They learn about major body parts, their family, healthy eating, feelings and safety.
Students explore the people that are important to them and develop the capacity to initiate and maintain respectful relationships in different contexts. They learn to show some consideration for the needs and feelings of themselves and others, including at school, at home, in the classroom and when participating in physical activities.
Students learn through movement by engaging in a variety of physical activities in a range of environments (indoor, outdoor and aquatic). Students participate in simple games with support, to follow instructions and to remain on task. They develop and practise fundamental movement skills through active play and structured movement activities to improve competence and confidence in their movement abilities.
For Level D, teachers need to select focus areas that are age appropriate and reflect the physical, social and emotional maturation of the student. The focus areas include, but are not limited to:
By the end of Level D, students recognise changes to their body over the year. They identify and describe basic emotions people experience and what makes them feel this way.
They recognise some routine actions they do to help them to be healthy, safe and physically active. They identify different settings where they can be active and ways they move and play safely. They reflect upon how their body responds to movement.
Students make use of personal and social skills in a range of activities to be healthy and work with others. In structured situations they demonstrate practices and protective behaviours to keep themselves safe and healthy in everyday events and different routine activities. They perform fundamental movement skills involving simple gross motor movements and solve basic movement challenges.
