PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) should be an essential part of the primary school curriculum. It provides students with an awareness of how to lead a healthy lifestyle and makes choices regarding their wellbeing. In PDHPE, students learn skills like problem solving, decision making, and communication. They also develop an understanding of health, relationships, and personal choices. Educating students in these areas can help prevent issues like obesity, stress, poor hygiene, and low self-esteem. Parents can support PDHPE by making healthy choices at home, allowing their children autonomy, being physically active as a family, and maintaining open communication.
