PDHPE

Rationale
 Personal Development ,Health and Physical Education
is a crucial Key Learning Area
for all primary school students across Australia.
It is the only subject that teaches children
important life skills and
assists in the
physical and personal growth of each child.
 PDHPE
promotes healthy living styles, that can help to improve
the quality of the lives of every student.
It teaches children how to develop healthy eating habits
and places an emphasis on how being involved in
regular physical activity can benefit the body and the mind.
PDHPE is an interactive unit that allows
Students to learn both inside and outside the classroom.
 As well as teaching about physical activity and
healthy living,
PDHPE is also the one key learning area
that teaches children the importance of socialising
and developing social skills.
Children learn that they are part of a community and that
they are active citizens with
roles and responsibilities,
just like everyone else.
Every child needs to be able to value themselves and others around them.
When students are able to value themselves and others,
they are then able to make the right decisions
when faced with everyday issues.
PDHPE is therefore a unit which must be taught with the most,
passion, enthusiasm
and high priority in order to prepare students for a healthy and fulfilling

life.
