PDHPE

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 practise 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.

PDHPE provides the opportunity for young people to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health and wellbeing of themselves and others, now and in the future.

 

Learning in PDHPE encourages young people to take a positive approach to managing their lives and equips them with skills for current and future challenges.

 

PDHPE is a mandatory course for years 7-10. In 2014 the school has also offered elective courses for years 9 and 10 and in line with our changes to the senior school structure have introduced an early commencement VET course in Sports Coaching for Year 10. This year we have also integrated Year 10 sport and this is being taught largely by PDHPE teachers.

 

In the Year 11 and 12 there is a theory based 2 unit PDHPE HSC course and the school also offers a 1 Unit and 2 Unit course of SLR which has a practical emphasis.

 

This year we will continue offering Aerobics and  Volleyball electives in Year 8.
