- Health promotion and the Ottawa Charter actions
- Risk factors and protective factors
NSW PDHPE Stage 5 (Year 9) - health promotion and risk; training programs and performance; respectful relationships - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did PDHPE Year 9” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
How health is promoted at a population level, and how risk is understood, communicated and reduced.
Designing training that fits a performer, a sport and a timeline, and reading performance data honestly.
Consent, communication and health literacy in intimate relationships, taught with evidence and respect.
A PDHPE Year 9 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| predict | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 9 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
