Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) is important because it informs students on how to achieve and maintain healthy mental, physical, social and spiritual wellbeing.

When students have this information it helps them to grow up to be healthy, well balanced adults.

PDHPE helps students to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This empowers them to make informed decisions about what food they eat, saying no to drugs and being active to improve their own health and wellbeing for now and in the future.

PDHPE teaches students about self-confidence and self-acceptance and encourages them to understand and value their own and others development and difference.

PDHPE promotes movement and coordination, to increase the students opportunities and abilities.

PDHPE helps students recognise safe and dangerous situations and how to protect themselves and others. Along with how to care for and respect the rights of other people and the world they live in.
