This is a rationale created to highlight the benefits of PDHPE in primary school settings

1. Why do we teach PDHPE
in primary schools?
PDHPE syllabus is focused on encompassing an individuals social,
mental, physical and spiritual health.

2. encourages the value of self and others
Students who have an understanding of self and
others will exercise more control over their own
lives.
Work more cooperatively in teams

3. Promotes physical activity
Primary schools encourage young children to
be more active, at least one hour each day.
Schools support movement skills and
enhance their creativity.

4. children make informed decisions
 Schools give accurate and appropriate information
about issues that are relevant to the decisions
students will have to make.
 Learning through behaviour rehearsals so students
will have the knowledge to respond in certain
situations

5. Students are taught
physical/mental skills that
will help them become
healthy informed individuals
in their present and future.
