Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.

PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.

All children participate in a class based fitness program.  Primary sport is held weekly and encompasses a wide range of sporting activities with the opportunity of regular inter-school participation through the Manly District Primary School Sports Association.  Outstanding competitors have the opportunity to compete at District, Regional and State levels.
