3. Did you know..
o Less than half of all of NSW primary school children do the recommended 60
minutes of exercise daily
o Most children in NSW lack fundamental movement skills such as throwing, running
and jumping due to an increase in their inactive lifestyles
o Children who lack basic fundamental movement skills were less likely to
participate in sports or play with their friends, had lower fitness levels and were
more prone to being overweight or obese.

4. The benefits of Physical Education
Physical education Develops fundamental movement skills which are
required in everyday life to participate in all types of games and
activities. Playing in the park with friends, becoming a part of a team
sport or simply going on a bike ride with the family all require using
basic fundamental movement skills.
Through games and sports students are encouraged to work individually
and on teams and are exposed to many forms of physical activity using a
variety of sporting equipment. This challenges students on different
levels and develops relationships, communication and the ability to
make decisions, which are all important in our everyday lives, not just
on the sports field.
Active kids are healthy kids! Physical activity builds strong bones and
muscles, promotes cardiovascular fitness and builds self esteem.

5. Personal Development and Health
Teaches children about their growing and changing bodies. Looks at the
physical and emotional changes that happen as we get older and aims to
support and guide children in understanding why these changes are taking
place
Promotes healthy lifestyle choices and aims to encourage a nutritious diet,
note the importance of rest, physical activity and hygiene in order to
maintain a healthy body and mind
PDH teaches safety in different environments, not just the school. We look at
sun safety, bike and road safety and safety around the home.

6. PDHPE is more than great!!
It is a vital subject that teaches your children how to lead happy healthy lifestyles and
become involved in physical activity daily
Children will take away confidence and the ability to value themselves and one
another, an important lifelong skill
Students will gain an understanding into how and why their bodies are changing and
have the opportunity to ask questions in a positive learning environment
We will learn how to be safer in a variety of environments and create an awareness of
the world around us
Overall, we will have fun with our friends by playing a variety of games and sports
whist continuing to grow and build our self esteem and confidence
