Dynamic learning supporting physical, social, and emotional wellbeing
At Coombabah State High School, Health & Physical Education (HPE) offers students a dynamic blend of theory and practical experiences designed to support their physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. Guided by the Australian Curriculum (ACARA), our program equips students with the skills, knowledge, and attitudes needed to lead healthy, active lifestyles.
Through HPE, students not only grow their physical capabilities but also build the values and skills that prepare them for success in all areas of life.
In practical lessons, students develop competence and confidence across a variety of sports and physical activities, fostering teamwork, leadership, and resilience. Students experience hands-on learning that builds physical skills and promotes an active, healthy lifestyle.
Theory lessons explore important topics that support student wellbeing and healthy decision-making:
