About Personal Development Health & Physical Education
What is this subject about?
PDHPE is about healthy lifestyles and preparing you for a career in health. This subject looks at the factors that contribute to and promote both individual health and healthy communities. You will learn about First Aid, outdoor recreation, body systems (bones, muscles and energy), sports medicine, fitness training and health priorities in Australia.
Subject Topics
Health, body systems, camping and outdoor recreation, first aid, sports medicine and improving performance.
Extra
PDHPE will give you life skills, understanding and knowledge about human movement and health that you cannot find in any other courses. It also includes a range of experiences that will enrich your Year 11 and 12 experience, (e.g. the camp in Year 11). Get on board!
Please note: PDHPE is a subject about health, healthy living, fitness and the health industry. PE (practical) is not a significant component of this course. If you want PE (practical), Sport Lifestyle & Recreation (SLR) is a more suitable option.
