What is this subject about?
Year 9 Fit4Action is about understanding and developing your physical health, using fitness as a focus. You will also learn how fitness can help improve all dimensions of health, including social, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. You will apply the different fitness components and identify which of these are your strengths. You will set goals that YOU want to achieve and build and practice programs for YOUR progress. This subject does not have anything to do with being ‘sporty’. We invite all students from the Athletics carnival record holders to the student who’s never stepped into a public gym before. The most important thing is that you will be challenging yourself to be better!
