1. Personal Development, HEALTH, Physical Education (PDHPE) and Primary School Children

2. PDHPE should be taught in our primary schools.

3. PDHPE encompasses many areas, but overall it is concerned with Health. A healthy attitude to life will be beneficial to the child’s future. Positive decisions lead to personal satisfaction and towards high self esteem.

4. Learning about active lifestyles, good nutrition, personal development, forming happy relationships and making positive life choices is beneficial for everyone- to the wider community, to the child’s family and to the child themselves.

5. Therefore PDHPE should be taught in our primary schools- if we want children who are emotionally stable, who have good relationships, are physically healthy, are intellectually informed about personal decisions, are spiritually nourished and who value themselves and others.
