Overall health and wellbeing is not limited to the psychomotor domain of physical activity. HPE teaches students how to access and critic information about lifelong health, wellbeing and safety through developing their strengths. Social, emotional and cognitive learning is promoted through HPE as students develop an understanding of health, wellbeing and why it is important to be physically active (ACARA, 2015f). Students explore their identities and develop an appreciation of their strengths with an awareness of factors that shape who they are. Through this understanding, students are able to make informed decisions on being healthy and active. Pedagogies which promote these learning outcomes include critical inquiry and cooperative learning.
