Online Health Physical Education Degree :: Accredited Universities

This course provides graduates with a qualification to teach Personal Development Health and Physical Education in schools and other educational settings. The education component is practice focused with students undertaking professional experience in schools and other learning sites. Students are also encouraged to undertake field/professional experience in remote schools. External students can normally complete their professional experience in their home towns. Indigenous perspectives are a particular focus. Students can undertake studies in Indigenous languages and literacy as well as examining specific strategies for enhancing educational outcomes for Indigenous learners.

Criminal History Check: students must have cleared a Police Check and/or Working With Children Check before they can undertake practice teaching. Students whose Police Check and/or Working With Children Check are not cleared by the education sectors will not be able to undertake practice teaching and will not therefore be able to complete the requirements of the course.
