Description: 

This unit has two strands: Strand A: the Arts and Technology and Enterprise; and, Strand B: Health and Physical Education. Strand A deals with the concept that the arts and technology are central to the expression and identity of all human societies, and Strand B examines the nature and importance of healthy activity in our society. The main focus will be defining and understanding these learning areas in the context of teaching and learning and the primary school curriculum.

External students are required to attend an on-campus intensive teaching week, commencing Monday 5 July, 2010.
