Year 8 Powering Through PDHPE Units

This term, Year 8 Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) students have been actively developing a range of skills both on and off the courts.

In practical lessons, they have been enthusiastically engaging in the Net Games unit; including sports of badminton and pickleball. As a part of their ongoing assessment task, students have focused on developing skills, communication, teamwork, and strategic thinking. Through their active involvement, students have showcased their ability to develop technique and understanding of rules, but also how to collaborate effectively and support one another on the court.

In the classroom, students have explored the unit Power In Me, engaging in important topics such as respectful relationships, inclusivity and empathy. These discussions and associated activities have encouraged thoughtful reflection and helped foster a positive and respectful learning environment, as well as developing important skills to help students apply in every day life with understanding and compassion.

We look forward to seeing the continued enthusiasm and effort from Year 8 for the remainder of the term!
