PDHPE is an important subject area that promotes lifelong health and well-being. It encourages self-understanding and respect for others, helps students make informed life decisions, and promotes physical activity. Through PDHPE, students learn fundamental movement skills, develop a healthy lifestyle to reduce obesity risk, and build relationship skills. PDHPE also helps students develop personal values like respect and knowledge on how to handle life scenarios. Not teaching PDHPE could lead to increased obesity rates, poor nutrition and activity levels, and children forming unhealthy social habits.
