PDHPE values

V1 refers to a sense of their own worth and dignity;

V2 respects the right of others to hold different values and attitudes from their own;

V3 enjoys a sense of belonging;

V4 increasingly accepts responsibility for personal and community health;

V5 willingly participates in regular physical activity; and

V6 commits to realising their full potential.

These PDHPE syllabus values show the sort of commitment we have to teach students to be kind to others and themselves which are values that all students need to be taught from early stages.

Parent involvement!

Parent involvement is key to a child's development, this is the same for development of personal and physical skills. encouraging children to participate may be all they need.
