PDHPE is an important subject in schools for several reasons. It teaches children about health, nutrition, and how to keep their bodies fit, which is important as obesity rates in children are rising. PDHPE educates children on fun ways to be physically active for at least 60 minutes per day as recommended. It also teaches children skills like teamwork by participating in sports, helps them understand safety issues like drugs and stranger danger, and prevents bullying. For these reasons, PDHPE is a valuable subject that prepares children for life.

It can be estimated that roughly 1 in 4 children within Australia are over weight. By teaching kids about health and nutrition we can attempt to lower these numbers. It is important that children have an understanding of how their body works and what we need to do to keep their bodies fit and healthy. It is recommended by the Department of Health that children between the ages of 5 and 12 are physically active for a minimum of 60 minutes a day. PDHPE as a subject can educate children on fun ways to achieve this. From 1985 to 1995 the number of overweight 715 year olds almost doubled. The rate of obesity is expected to rise as time goes on. By 2020 it is expected that 65% of young Australians will be over weight or obese. THE FACTS: OBESITY
