ACHPER NSW offers a comprehensive Stage 6 HMS professional learning program, co-designed and delivered by ACHPER NSW staff and experienced teachers.

Our HMS Extension sessions unpack a specific area of the HMS syllabus to help build your understanding and confidence.

The HMS syllabus (Focus Area 2) extends body systems content to include interrelationships between systems. Students need to understand how all aspects of the body work together during physical activity and exercise.  Unpack this new content area and take part in hands-on activities you can use with students.

The webinar will be an interactive 90 minute session.

You will take away a sample learning sequence outlining:

• a variety of teaching strategies to address the content
• formative assessment opportunities
• formal assessment task options
• supplementary digital resources.

Who should attend? Any PDHPE teachers interested in teaching the Stage 6 HMS course.
