Year 5 & 6 Health - Physical Health Unit - Australian Curriculum

This comprehensive Year 5/6 Health and Physical Education unit includes 10 engaging, curriculum-aligned lessons where students examine how participation supports health and wellbeing, and plan and practise strategies to promote health and safety. Covering essential topics such as tobacco, alcohol, medication usage, physical activity, water safety and traffic safety, this unit is fully updated to Version 9 of the Australian Curriculum and designed to build confident, informed decision-makers.

If you’re looking for a ready-to-teach Year 5/6 Health unit that balances explicit teaching, practical strategies and meaningful assessment while saving you hours of planning time, then this resource has you covered.

An alternative WA Curriculum planner (2026+) is also included, making this unit ideal for Western Australian teachers preparing for the new requirements.

Why This Unit Stands Out

✓ Fully Updated to Australian Curriculum Version 9

Feel confident knowing your planning is current, relevant and aligned. Curriculum links are embedded throughout, ensuring clarity and compliance.

✨ Comprehensive, Time-Saving Planning

The editable Unit Planner streamlines your preparation with clear learning sequences and explicit links to the Australian Curriculum. Everything is structured, purposeful and easy to follow.

✨ 10 Efficient, Engaging Lessons

Each of the 10 lessons follows a clear 5–6 step structure, making delivery simple and effective. Key teaching points are highlighted so you can focus on student engagement rather than deciphering instructions.

✨ Editable PowerPoint

A matching PowerPoint that guides each lesson with:

• Learning intentions & success criteria
• Key discussion prompts
• Visuals and display resources
• Worksheets and answer keys shown at the right moment

Perfect for Smartboards and TVs and completely optional if you prefer to minimise screen time.

✨ Engaging & Practical Learning Experiences

Through cooperative learning strategies, discussions and practical activities, students explore real-world scenarios involving substance use, physical activity participation, and safety in water and traffic environments. The variety of tasks ensures high engagement and deep understanding.

✨ Clear & Confident Assessment

The editable A–E Grading Guide is directly linked to the Year 5/6 Achievement Standard and based on two key assessment tasks. This ensures consistent teacher judgement and transparent expectations for students.
