PDHPE teaches students about personal development, health, and physical education. It aims to support students' social, mental, and physical wellbeing through opportunities to develop interpersonal skills, make healthy lifestyle choices, engage in physical activity, and learn problem solving. PDHPE provides a more well-rounded education than just physical education alone by encouraging personal growth and healthy living.
