Year 8 PDHPE – The Power In Me

This term in PDHPE, Year 8 students will be participating in the Power in Me theory unit. Throughout the term, students will explore how to build healthy and respectful relationships, promote inclusivity, demonstrate empathy, and use their influence positively to support others. Through discussions, practical activities and real-life scenarios, students will develop strategies to strengthen relationships, create inclusive communities, prevent bullying, and stand up for others when needed.

In practical lessons, students will participate in the Nothing but Net unit, where they will develop their skills and understanding of Badminton and Pickleball. Students will have opportunities to improve their movement skills, apply tactics in game situations, and demonstrate positive teamwork and sportsmanship. An ongoing practical assessment will run throughout the term, encouraging students to actively participate and apply themselves in every lesson.

As part of their learning this term, students will also take part in a PASS (Physical Activity and Sports Studies) taster session, providing an opportunity to experience the content and practical elements of this elective subject ahead of future subject selections.
