About Personal Development, Health and Physical Education
PDHPE covers a broad range of movement and game-based understanding, which progressively develops each students’ skills over Years 7-10. Topics are highly relevant to all young people and include Active and Healthy Lifestyles, Managing Change in our lives, Drug Education, First Aid, Puberty and Sex, Self Esteem, and Health Promotion. We give students the latest health information and skills, with the central goal that they continue to make informed health decisions throughout their lives.
PDHPE teachers are highly skilled and motivated and encourage within all students the positive outlook to health and physical activity that can maintain long and active lives. Our practical lessons are challenging, consider age and gender and use facilities and equipment that promote a safe, team-based and fun environment. Our vision is that all students benefit physically, socially and emotionally through consistent participation in physical activity. Moreover, physical, emotional and academic health converge in PDHPE and are all mutually beneficial!
