This study explored if connections were made by teachers and students in schools between education (RE) and health and physical education (HPE) key areas (KLA). The research was conducted within three Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) Catholic primary schools of varying enrolment size. It is argued that within Catholic education, the HPE curriculum documents are strongly connected to the RE curriculum material (Lynch 2004). The spiritual dimension of the HPE curriculum is defined in the syllabus as the of connection to phenomena and unusual events beyond self and usual sensory and rational existence; a sense of place within the universe (Queensland School Curriculum Council 1999, 26). The three strands of HPE: personal development; developing the concepts and skills for physical activities; and promoting the health of individuals and communities can all be affiliated closely with the RE curriculum. Furthermore, under the HPE umbrella, physical education sits alongside health education, outdoor education, home economics, and RE (Macdonald 2003; Macdonald and Glover 1997). In primary schools, physical and physical activities are valuable components of the students' and school culture. Christian spirituality is the essential link between faith and culture (Gallagher 1997). Hence, it is logical that the area for learning in, through and about movement, HPE, may offer opportunities for Catholic schools to develop Christian spirituality usually associated with the RE area. As Buchanan and Hyde (2008, 310) share, religious education is one field of study that can effectively address the complementarity between cognitive, affective and spiritual dimensions of learning. Qualitative research investigating RE development through HPE experiences was conducted. Participants included teachers and students from the three respective schools. The research concluded that well implemented quality inclusive physical activities within HPE lessons increased participant's connections between the two key areas.
