2. Promoting safety awareness ultimately reduces
any hazardous obstacles or risk factors that
could adversely impact their health. Students
express their understandings of appropriate
playing behaviour by obeying safety rules in the
games they love to play!
The focus for teaching
primary PDHPE involves
“promoting safety awareness
[to children]” (Syllabus,
2007, p. 45), in doing so,
students essentially develop
cognitive reasoning during
PE and PDH lessons.
3. Students are able to distinguish and
recognise their strengths and
weaknesses through a PE lesson by
means of confronting numerous
challenges, including “physical,
mental and emotional [obstacles.]”
(Syllabus, 2007, p. 45).
Studying PDHPE facilitates welfare
knowledge that enable students to
fundamentally grow in confidence
and motivation.
4. Students work with peers to
achieve a game’s objective such
as in invasion games, this inturn
assists in “strengthening
networks” (Syllabus, 2007, p. 45).
Offering players diverse roles
and responsibilities in PE
lessons allows them to
interact with other students
correspondingly. Essentially,
learning skills, building
positive relationships,
resolving conflicts and more!
5. PDHPE and PE are exciting components of
health education and are absolutely necessary to
learn about for all young students.
Parents, YOU are also responsible for facilitating a
profound healthy education for your child as well
as the educational institution itself.
What could be more fun than learning about
PDHPE skills, personal health choices and
participating in sports for an active lifestyle.
