1. Teaching PDHPE in Primary
Schools
Teach students to live healthy
lifestyles. Not only physically, but
also mentally, socially and spiritually.

2. PDHPE is an important KLA for
students & the community as it:
Encourages an understanding & valuing
of the self & others.
Promotes lifelong involvement in
physical activity.
Develops students ability to make
informed decisions in their lives.

decision making
skills through

4. More small children can open a web browser [25%]
than can swim unaided [20%] thus the Game Sense
approach is highly important to ensure children
experience the fun side of sport & exercise.
Children now associate
sports with technology
thus removing any
physical involvement.Children are spending more
time indoors than outdoors.
The need for PDHPE is greater
than ever. http://liesdamnedliesstatistics.com/wp-
