Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) plays a critical role in educating the whole student. Research supports the importance of movement in educating both mind and body.

Physical education contributes directly to development of physical competence and fitness. It also helps students to make informed choices and understand the value of leading a physically active lifestyle. The benefits of physical education can affect both academic learning and physical activity patterns of students. The healthy, physically active student is more likely to be academically motivated, alert, and successful.
