Show: Physical Education Homepage

This document clarifies what evidence is required to verify the practical performance required in the following standards. Please note a tick in a box on a cover sheet is not sufficient evidence for moderators to confirm teacher judgements.

Performance Standards - AS90524 (1.3), AS90436 (2.5), AS90742 (3.4)
