Presentations

This presentation explored strategies for creating more inclusive, play-based activities in Physical and Health Education (PHE) that foster student connection, engagement, and equitable participation. It highlighted how traditional grouping methods in PE—whether based on skill level, gender, or social circles—can unintentionally lead to exclusion, with common issues such as skilled players dominating gameplay, friends only interacting with each other, or boys excluding girls during play.

Sexual violence is prevalent across the world and breaks barriers of background, ethnicity, economics etc. The health and social impact for people who have been through sexual violence can be huge. It is important that we teach young people to be safe but more importantly not to harm each other.

Sports are undeniably a competition, by design. Winning or losing can mean everything. But should it? We can take a look at data and the philosophies that we can adapt as ADs, coaches, PE teachers, to make sure inclusivity, participation, and collaboration are at the forefront of our programs.

During this presentation, we will discuss the development of a quality, concept-based PE program.

This presentation highlights the benefits and challenges of using such a model to teach well-established units in the curriculum.

In this workshop, we’ll work through a series of running drills which will introduce our students to the fundamental movement skills of sprinting, we’ll learn to perform a basic sprint start and acceleration, and we’ll develop the key techniques for the hurdles.
