Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Wrap Up

As we reach the end of another year in Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE), I would like to celebrate the diverse learning experiences and achievements of our students across Year 7 to Year 12.

Throughout the year, students engaged in a wide range of movement contexts designed to build their fundamental skills, teamwork, confidence and enjoyment of physical activity. Our practical program featured activities such as artistic swimming, gymnastics, lacrosse, touch football, fitness training, invasion games, and striking games including cricket and softball.

Our Year 10 Physical Activity and Sports Studies students also had the invaluable opportunity to coach Junior School classes, applying their understanding of skill acquisition in real, authentic learning environments.

In the theory classroom, students continued to demonstrate curiosity, critical thinking and a strong commitment to their studies. Our Stage 6 students in both the HSC Personal Development, Health and Physical Education and IB Sport, Exercise and Health Science courses explored the complexities of human performance, health promotion and global health issues 

Across all year groups, we have been proud to see students grow not only in skill and knowledge, but also in teamwork, resilience and personal wellbeing. PDHPE aims to empower students to make informed, healthy choices, and it has been a pleasure watching them thrive in both individual and collaborative settings.
