PDHPE plays an important role in Australian schools by educating students to lead healthy, active lives and become healthy future citizens. As obesity and inactivity rise in Australia, PDHPE teaches students the skills, knowledge, and values they need to make responsible choices about their health. A strong PDHPE program can help students adopt roles in society that are productive and contribute to addressing health issues facing the country.
