Year 6 PDHPE – Building Confidence and Preparing for What’s Next!

Year 6 have made a strong start to the term in Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE), with lessons designed to support both their physical skills and personal development as they prepare for the exciting move to high school.

In our practical lessons, students have been getting active through a range of invasion games, focusing on teamwork, movement, and strategy. They’re learning to refine key skills such as throwing, catching, dodging, and decision-making in fast-paced situations. It has been great to see students encouraging one another, problem-solving together, and having fun while building their confidence on the field.

In class, we’ve started exploring ways to manage the transition from Year 6 to Year 7, looking at how to handle change, stay positive, and build resilience. Students are discussing their personal strengths, learning how to make safe and healthy choices, and developing strategies to deal with peer pressure and new social situations.

It has been a wonderful start to the term, and we’re looking forward to seeing Year 6 students continue to grow, challenge themselves, and feel ready for the exciting journey into high school ahead!
