PDHPE News
Term 1 has started with a bang for the students in 7-10 PDHPE. In the practical component of PDHPE, students have started to work through their fitness passports. These activities enable students to improve the amount of exercise that they are doing in their life and to ensure they understand just how the various components of fitness affect their lifestyle.
The Year 7 and Year 9 cohort have been introduced to the implementation of the new PDHPE syllabus. Year 9 have started a unit – Eating Moving and Feeling Good. Students will be working through such questions as:
- How can I be the best version of me and support the identity of others?
- How can I include, assist and lead others during physical activity?
- How can I plan and advocate for health, safety, wellbeing and participation in a lifetime of physical activity?
