Scientific study of human movement, exercise physiology, and sports psychology.
Available in: Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory
Physical Education (PE) is a senior ATAR subject available in multiple Australian states and territories, including VIC (VCE Physical Education), QLD (QCE Physical Education), WA (WACE Physical Education Studies), SA (SACE Physical Education), TAS (TASC Health and Physical Sciences), and ACT/NT through the Australian Curriculum. While NSW includes PE content under PDHPE, other states offer a standalone subject with a strong focus on biomechanics, exercise physiology, sport psychology, and performance analysis. At Modedu, we offer 1:1 online tutoring tailored to each state’s Physical Education curriculum, helping students excel in both theoretical knowledge and applied assessments.
Expert guidance for complex concepts
Though often perceived as a practical subject, senior PE is academically demanding, requiring students to:
Apply scientific principles to sport and movement
Understand the body’s physiological systems
Analyse physical performance using biomechanical and psychological models
Write structured responses and extended analytical reports
Our tutors help students:
Clarify complex theory (e.g. energy systems, training principles)
Prepare for written and multimodal assessments
Improve application of content to sport-specific case studies
