PDHPE Overview; a Reminder on Sun Safety, and Year 10

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) staff have enjoyed seeing the enthusiasm in students as they began their theory and practical units last week. Christmas craft has been well received as part of mindfulness which occurs at the start of all theory lessons. In practical classes, sports and activities range from lacrosse to tee-ball, lawn games such as bocce and croquet to high intensity interval training.

To maximise participation and safety, please ensure your daughter packs a hat and water bottle. A reminder that students must utilise the MLC School Sports bag only to carry their equipment to and from school. Please also reinforce and encourage the use of sunscreen as the weather continues to heat up. Students are welcome to bring their own. Alternatively, it is made available to them throughout lessons.

Year 10 PDHPE

As Year 10 students approach the end of the school year, they are completing their final Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) unit – and for many, their last PE lessons over the next few weeks. 

Year 10 students have been participating in our Recreational Sport program, where they take the lead in running sports, games, and team challenges of their own choice. From kick tennis and multisport activities to team challenges, it’s been fantastic to see their enthusiasm and collaboration.

More than just keeping active, this unit focuses on developing leadership, communication, and teamwork skills that will support them well beyond the classroom. These skills complement their learning in the Life Beyond School theory unit. It’s been a pleasure to watch students step up to the challenge, guide their peers, and finish their PE journey with confidence and positivity.

A huge thank you to Year 10 for bringing such amazing energy, curiosity, and fun to PDHPE lessons this year! We’re incredibly proud of everything you have achieved and hope you’ve made plenty of memories along the way.
