PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) in schools is important because it teaches children skills beyond exercise. It allows them to explore independently, set and achieve goals by problem solving using physical activity. Through PDHPE, children learn about themselves, relationships, and their place in the world. PDHPE also teaches an awareness of a physically active and socially just lifestyle for both individuals and communities. It helps children move and communicate with competence and confidence in a fun way using techniques like Teaching Games for Understanding and Game Sense.
