PDHPE in Primary Schools

Why PDHPE is needed in Primary Schools

- Currently, there is not specific class for PDHPE within Primary Schools in NSW

- Teachers are required to teach some Personal Development and Health subjects throughout the year, but there is not specific time for Physical Education that is set aside specifically for this this purpose.

- With the increasing obesity rates in Australia, knowledge about Nutrition and regular exercise for students is more important than ever before.
