Relationships

What it could look like:

• Demonstrating empathy and compassion
• Showing behaviours such as sharing and developing trust and camaraderie
• Showing awareness for the feelings, needs and interests of others

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have not developed the ability to interact effectively with others.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Establishes and explores relationships through movement and physical activity, showing an awareness for the feelings, needs and interests of others.

• Interacting with others during movement, including talking, listening, sharing and responding.
• Using words and body language to show respect to others

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Understands the characteristics of different relationships as experienced through movement and physical activity.

• Developing camaraderie with others
• Exploring and experiencing ways to connect with others in their community through movement and physical activity
• Understanding and displaying behaviours that create positive relationships such as inclusion, respect and trust

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Analyses and maintains relationships, employing a range of skills and building these in relation to movement and physical activity.

• Fostering positive relationships with team members, competitors, coaches and officials
• Reflecting on how behaviours and actions can change based on interaction with others during movement and physical activity
• Asserting a stance on a situation, dilemma or decision by expressing thoughts, opinions and beliefs that acknowledge the feelings of others

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity.  I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts.  I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

• Moving to a new community and having the confidence to join a new group/club (e.g. tennis, parkrun) with the purpose of building new relationships. You select this particular group/club as you have previously enjoyed similar sports/activities (e.g. badminton, athletics), and feel you have already developed the knowledge and physical competency required to progress in the group/club.
