PDHPE at our School
The PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) Committee has three main focus areas within the school;
Personal Health and Development – This aspect focuses educating students to develop the knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes to ensure their own and other’s health, safety and wellbeing in different contexts. Our ‘Chefs in the Making’ program is an example of an additional program offered by the school during lunchtimes, providing students with the opportunity to prepare meals and educate them on healthy eating.
Physical Education – In this area, we focus on teaching students the fundamental movement skills and concepts to enable students to participate in a range of physical activities confidently and competently. This is taught across all grades from Kindergarten to Year 6.
Participation in sports and carnivals within the school, Campbelltown Zone PSSA, Sydney South West region as well as at state and national level. This includes programs and competitions such as;
