Assessment: Year 7 – Invasion Games Comparative Task

Years 7 and 8 Achievement Standard Australian Curriculum HPE Achievement
Standards

By the end of Year 8, students investigate strategies and resources to manage changes and transitions and their impact
on identities. Students evaluate the impact on wellbeing of relationships and respecting diversity. They analyse factors
that influence emotional responses. They investigate strategies and practices that enhance their own and others’ health
and wellbeing. They investigate and apply movement concepts and strategies to achieve movement and fitness
outcomes. They examine the cultural and historical significance of physical activities and examine how connecting to
the environment can enhance health and wellbeing.

Students apply personal and social skills to establish and maintain respectful relationships and promote fair play and
inclusivity. They demonstrate skills to make informed decisions, and propose and implement actions that promote
their own and others’ health, safety and wellbeing. Students demonstrate control and accuracy when performing
specialised movement skills. They apply and refine movement concepts and strategies to suit different movement
situations. They apply the elements of movement to compose and perform movement sequences.

Task Description:

Invasion Games around the world have skills that can be transferred to a variety of
sporting situations.

In this task students will draw on their recent experiences from the Invasion Games Unit
to compare the Sports of Parntu and European Handball. Students will identify the
similarities between the two and analyse the transferable skills and movement patterns
utilised by both sports.
