If your school does not cover some of the areas in the Health and Physical Education for the Australian Curriculum, we offer an Alternate Version as a digital only option. In this Alternate Version, selected content has been reframed in some chapters.
This Alternate Version is similar in many respects to the Original Version which aims to support teachers and students in schools across the nation. However, this Alternate Version is modified to address the needs of those schools whose teaching of Health and Physical Education is significantly impacted by a particular religious tradition together with the characteristic beliefs and values that the religious tradition affirm and espouse.
