Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.
According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.
PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.
Sport and physical activity
Currently at Wyee Public School each class receives one hour of PE instruction per week. In Kindergarten to Year 2 these lessons focus on improving the students fundamental movement skills. In Year 3 to Year 6 the lessons focus on developing the different skills and tactics required to play various sports such as touch football, netball and hockey.
