PDHPE is often one of the first subjects affected when space or weather issues arise in schools or when teachers do not see its benefits. However, PDHPE teaches students important life skills like developing relationships, practicing healthy living and eating, and staying safe through interactions with others and fun activities. It helps students understand themselves, their bodies, how to relate to peers, nutrition, drugs, healthy lifestyles, and who can help them through a variety of games, sports, gymnastics, movement, and dance experiences.
