PDH/PE

The aim in Personal Development, Health, Physical Education (PDHPE) is to develop students' capacity to enhance personal health and wellbeing, enjoy an active lifestyle, maximize movement potential and advocate lifelong health and physical activity. This occurs in PDHPE through the development of knowledge, understanding and skills through four strands – Self and Relationships, Movement Skill and Performance, Individual and Community Health and Lifelong Physical Activity.

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) contributes significantly to the cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual development of students.
It provides opportunities for students to learn about, and practice ways of, adopting and maintaining a healthy, productive and active life. It also involves students learning through movement experiences that are both challenging and enjoyable, and improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence in a variety of contexts. It promotes the value of physical activity in their lives.

In addition to the compulsory PDHPE course 7-10 students are able to choose the Physical Activity and Sport Studies elective in Years 9 and 10 and the 2 unit PDHPE or Sport , Lifestyle and Recreation course in Years 11 and 12.
