2. Why PDHPE is important and vital
in primary schools!
With high obesity rates in the youth of today, instilling in
children the importance of a healthy lifestyle and
exercise is essential.
There is a lack of proper education amongst the
teachers of PDHPE there needs to be a program
initiated that provides teachers with the means to give
PDHPE the proper attention it deserves.
3. There is strong need for PDHPE in schools. It tends to
be a subject that children look forward to all week and
therefore should be emphasised as important and
should harness the students’ enthusiasm for learning
as vital.
4. There is a need to give children the tools to make
healthy life choices for the rest of their lives.
If they have the information that they need for their
futures, they can make the choices for themselves and
be good role models for themselves and others.
5. Through fun, interactive and modern (wiki) styles of
teaching and learning we can provide students with the
information they need in a fun way. The importance of
having a healthy lifestyle cannot be stressed enough.
By providing students with the tools they need, we can
help create a generation of informed healthy students.
