Movement education teaches students to develop motor skills through physical movement. There are 5 fundamental movement skills - throwing, catching, kicking, jumping, and running - that NSW schools are required to teach. Under the NSW K-6 syllabus, students must demonstrate mastery of these fundamental movement skills and participate in games and sports. Movement education is praised in literature as core to children's physical, cognitive, and social development, and mastery of fundamental motor skills is important for participation in organized sports. Simply put, students need to learn fundamental movement skills to participate in sports and develop social, physical, and cognitive abilities.
