PDHPE Program (Doc 3119KB)
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.
We have physical activity programs for children from Kindergarten to Year 6, with a focus on fundamental movement skills.
Sport and physical activity is a valued and accepted part of our school's curriculum, contributing to the development of the whole child. It provides a vehicle for social, physical, emotional and moral learning and is an important expression of our culture.
During the year the children participate in a specialist skills based program in Dance and Gymnastics. We also engage specialists in different sporting fields to provide workshops for our students throughout the year eg NRL, Soccer, Golf
The children in year 3-6 are able to participate in PSSA interschool sport on Fridays from 9:00 to 11:00.
Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 students participate in a skills based sports lesson each Friday with the help of parent volunteers. Parents who wish to volunteer to help should contact the school.
Seven Hills Public School has been an active participant in the Premier's Sporting Challenge every year since 2008. Senior students also have the option of participating in the Premier's Sporting Challenge Sports Leadership program which is available to Year 5 and Year 6 students.
