Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.

PDHPE is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Sport options - Years 3 to 6

Home Sport

Students who are not involved in PSSA sport are given the opportunity to experience a range of sporting activities designed to develop their fundamental movement and gross motor skills.
