PDHPE teaches students about healthy living, decision making, and society through physical activity, developing skills like self-esteem and confidence, and raising awareness of safety and diversity. It increases awareness of the importance of health, as healthy people are less sick, happier, and can enjoy family and friends more through having more energy for sports and study. PDHPE provides a fun way to learn how to make good choices about food, habits, and influences, understand different cultures, and know what to do in emergencies or accidents.
