Thanks to those who have already submitted an abstract! If life got away with you, you still have a little time. The theme of the conference prompts us to be futures-focused, so let’s get our thinking caps on! #transformingHPE @AARE_HPE

For many kids, playing sport is about fun and connection. Good read via @theage - you don't have to play to win, and additionally you haven't failed if you lose. Focus on #sportparticipation is more important now than ever 🙌 #physicalactivity #HPE https://t.co/itwrurNbnH

#Free in May. Subjects such as Health & Physical Education can be marginalised in schools because they are construed as less important. How does this impact #HPE teachers? @VornC @dr_bph @Patterson_Kira @paulkeb1 @UTAS_ @UTASHPE @acereduau @SAGEeducation https://t.co/XDVlxuFCq2

My favourite intro to overarm throw activity - EARTHQUAKE, evolved today! Designed to get Ss thinking about forceful movements during the action. Ss wet their tennis ball at the drink taps and SMASHED in into the hoop! The splat gave instant feedback on force and accuracy!

LORD OF THE DECK RINGS - soccer/fútol game. 2 teams on each side of the court w/ 10-15 cones behind them. Teams cross the midline, put ball in a ring, 3 JJs, then runs their ball to the other team’s cones. Puts ball in the cone and runs it back to their side. Repeat! So much fun!

For students interested in PE, there are lots of options to choose from.

And if PE just isn't your thing, make sure you still get at least one hour of activity each day to weather the stress of VCE, write @CharlesSturtUni's @dr_bph + @VornC.

😒 Physical education gets a bad rap.

💡 To be honest, I get it. There is a lot that needs to be done to convince the world that we are more than just "gym class"
