Health & Physical Education

Health and Physical Education at St Francis Xavier College aims to provide students with the essential knowledge, skills and capabilities to develop a passion for lifelong health and wellbeing. The modern student is faced with opportunities and challenges to their health and wellbeing in their physical, social, cognitive and digital lives. At SFX, the Health and Physical Education program is integral to equipping students with practical skills such as resilience-building, nutrition development, mental health toolkits, critically analysing the components of respectful relationships and the application of tactical awareness and skill development. The HPE faculty prides itself on extending opportunities to students to explore further pathways through our elective and senior subject offerings of Sport and Recreation, Physical Education Studies, Exercise Science, and Outdoor and Environmental Education. Through their education at SFX, students and staff endeavour to walk together through holistic practices to influence and create lifelong contributors to their own health and wellbeing.
