PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) teaches students about physical, emotional, and mental development by connecting them to themselves and the world. It creates lifelong healthy behaviors and provides life lessons not taught in other classes, like sportsmanship. PDHPE addresses personal and social issues relevant to students' development that other classes don't cover. This helps students understand what lies ahead and gives them a foundation for further learning about issues important to their lives.

2. PDHPE is a unit of learning that
allows students to connect and
understand not only the world
they are apart of, though
themselves as human beings.
This is to ensure not only
physical development, though
emotional and mental
development.

3. Many parents disregard PDHPE as a unit of
study due to preconceived ideologies
(including assuming PDHPE is purely based
on game playing). A greater emphasis on the
importance of PDHPE as well as the outcomes
that are actually taught, can help allow parents
to understand the thought developments their
children experience when engaged in the unit.
PDHPE ultimately creates a stepping stone
into a positive future for their children, so
greater awareness is necessary to support the
unit.

4. By allowing children to be active
and interactive at school it creates
a pattern of behaviour that may
advance into the future and
contribute to a better quality of life.
Not only is Physical Education
dynamic and engaging, it provides
life lessons to children that may not
be able to be taught in a classroom
including good sportsmanship.

5. Many units that are taught within schools don’t
discuss personal and social issues that are relevant
to an individuals development. By providing a unit of
education such as PDHPE, that focuses purely on
issues that govern our every day lives, we can
ensure that a child’s mental and emotional
development is transpiring the relevant knowledge
taught to them through each experience and stage
of their lives. This not only assists an individual
comprehend what may lie ahead, it also provides a
backbone to relevant knowledge that may be
explored further in the future.
