**Introduction** Health and physical education within the primary school environment plays a fundamental role for the health and well being of children, and often integrates within many other disciplines of the school curriculum. To establish such knowledge of self awareness and discipline allows children to not only strive and experience self confidence, but promotes positive interaction with teachers and peers alike.

In creating an authentic learning task, our goal is to establish an overall health and well-being program inclusive of dietary reviews, fitness testing, heart rate monitoring and a fitness table in which to monitor and improve on any such area.

As our target group is for the year 4 school level, appropriate and relevant outcomes have been established to suit such an age bracket. Select a link above to direct you to that page.
