About units of work
The units of work provide cohesive learning experiences that
have been developed from the descriptions of each connected outcomes.
They cover outcomes at each stage of HSIE, Science & Technology,
PDHPE and Creative Arts. They have been written by classroom teachers
in collaboration with curriculum officers from Curriculum K-12
Directorate to support teaching and learning in the classroom.
The physical education (connected outcomes group I) units of work provide sample teaching and learning experiences for the teaching of physical education in each stage. The units cover outcomes at each stage for the PDHPE syllabus strands of Gymnastics, Games and Sports and Active Lifestyle. Teaching and learning experiences in dance are covered in the other connected outcomes groups units of work. Teachers are encouraged to modify and develop their own PE units of work based on the resources available within the school and to suit the needs of their students.
Units of work are periodically updated. All updates are announced
on the home page.
