Physical Education / Health / Physical Development

PD/H/PE is one of the six Key Learning areas in the NSW Primary Curriculum.

This syllabus is based on a broad notion of health that encompasses all aspects of an individual’s wellbeing, inclusive of social, mental, physical and spiritual health.

PD/H/PE encourages an understanding and value of self and others, promotes physical activity, emphasizes informed decision making leading to effective and responsible action.

Areas covered under the umbrella of PD/H/PE at Beelbangera Public School include:

• Life Education Van with the inspiring and lovable Healthy Harold.  Here the children learn how to make well informed choices on health issues.  This program runs every second year.

• Child Protection lessons where the children discuss life changes and associated feelings.

• Sport and Fitness helping the children become aware of the connection between physical activity and health.  Children are given every opportunity to participate in physical activity at their fitness and skill level.

• Drug Education lessons where again the children are encouraged to discuss factors influencing the personal health choices they may need to make.

• Anti Bullying and Resilience program

• Road Safety awareness lessons K-6

• Sun Protection and Water Safety awareness

PD/H/PE activities help to ensure that as the children leave primary school they are suitably equipped to make well informed decisions.
