Conclusion

• Although often overlooked as being merely games
  and sport, it has been shown that PDHPE in
  schools is more than just for fun.
• Both the practical components such as play and
  sport, as well as theory involving personal
  health and growth and development are very
  important aspects of the primary school
  curriculum.
• It is easy to see that not only does it
  contribute to the child's learning and
  understanding of other KLAs, PDHPE also links
  to life outside of school, general wellbeing, and
  promotes a lifetime of healthy lifestyle choices.
• If you havent already, please take time to
  reflect on the content of this presentation by

  provided. Hopefully this will further improve
  your understanding of the PDHPE Key Learning Area.
