3. HEALTHY EATING!
Nutrition is the basis of a healthy lifestyle, it goes hand in hand with
Physical Activity.
Healthy eating, especially for children, is all about eating whole foods that
are not processed or prepared in fats and grease.
Some foods to avoid are:
• Lollies
• Soft drink
• Fast Food
• Processed foods
All in all, healthy and natural foods are the
best, follow the food pyramid in order to
obtain a healthy diet for your
children, lunch box food should be limited
to fruit, water and maybe a small treat on
those special days where the child should
be rewarded for eating healthy, moderation
is the key and excess is the enemy!

4. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND KEEPING
SAFE!
PDHPE touches on subjects such a puberty, the changes and development
stages everybody goes through, and that it is normal!
In class we will discuss what happens throughout this time and who to go
to with questions about specific situations and topics.
We will also discuss the issue of keeping safe, from hazards and other
people, how to avoid falling into a trap and what precautions to take!
PDHPE is a subject which we take very seriously, It’s a broad subject which
addresses many issues and hope that it will give some real world
experience and insight for the future.

5. COMMUNICATING, WORKING TOGETHER AND
RELATIONSHIPS.
In PDHPE we will address many situations that are acceptable and
unacceptable.
I will discuss the different relationships and what is expected in these
relationships, such as a personal, intimate, and professional.
We will talk about the different types of communicating, working
together for a goal and teamwork within the framework of
school, work and sporting institutions.
To end on this presentation, PDHPE is more than what most expect, it is a guide for life
for keeping healthy, staying safe and understanding! I desperately ask all parents
to promote the subject to their children and aid them through any questions and
inquiries they have, I am always happy to communicate with parents about any
issues and sort through them together, I am actively available for meeting before
and after class if the need to organize is there!
Thank you, Mr Isaacs.
