Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) teaches essential life skills in school. It educates students on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with exercise and nutrition as society introduces more unhealthy temptations. PDHPE also helps children understand their changing bodies during puberty to avoid issues with self-esteem. Students learn relationship skills and confidence through different social situations. The curriculum introduces physical activities to promote health and make exercise fun and habitual. Most importantly, PDHPE imparts safety awareness and precautions that can be applied for life.
