1. Why PDHPE is important for your child
Mr. Luke Harrison 6H

2. Not Just Physical Education
 As well as games and sports, PDHPE also incorporates
Active Lifestyle, Dance, Growth and
Development, Gymnastics, Interpersonal
Relationships, Personal Health Choices and Safe
Living.

3. Importance of Personal
Development and Health (PDH)
 It is important for children to understand their own
bodies to be able to enhance their physical
development and prepare for future changes their
bodies will go through.
 Your child will also develop a broad understanding of
how to keep themselves and others safe and healthy.

4. Importance of Physical Education
(PE) and Physical Activity
 It is important for children to begin physical activity at
a young age so they can develop a wide range of skills
in various sports and activities. This increases the
likelihood of them engaging in physical activity later
in life, enhancing their physical well-being.

5. What about other ‘more
important’ subjects?
 PDHPE has just as much importance in developing
young minds as subjects like maths and science. They
all serve an academic purpose.
 Furthermore, it is widely understood that children
who actively engage in physical activity achieve greater
results.

6. Why are you telling me this?
 It is important for students and parents to understand
the importance of PDHPE so that you can understand
why this subject brings out such passion in myself and
why I want the same from all of my students.
