(2) If not, how do students currently engage in physical activity as part of their learning programs under the mandated curriculum framework? (3) When the goal of two hours physical activity per week is achieved in 2007, will there be a specific time allocation and a learning area called physical education? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(2) Decisions about how students engage in physical activity as part of their learning program under the mandated curriculum framework are made at the school level. From 2007, students from years 1 to 7 will be required to participate in two hours of physical activity per week as part of student learning programs. (3) There is already a health and physical education learning area under the mandated curriculum framework. This will not change with the mandated two hours of physical activity, which may be undertaken across the curriculum.
