The appropriateness of activities should be determined after
considering the desired learning outcomes of the programme,
the learning needs of the students, and the developmental
stage they are at.
Teachers must ensure, when selecting an outdoor activity,
that the activity they choose meets relevant safety requirements
in conjunction with clear, realistic, and relevant achievement
objectives that address the learning needs of their students.
The following Health and Physical Education – Curriculum
in Action resources provide age-appropriate activities.
