PDHPE Rationale

Why is it important to teach in schools?

Game Sense (PE)

- Builds interpersonal relationships and builds self confidence.

- Builds skills and techniques for future sports.

- Improves concentration in everyday learning.

- Promotes a healthy active lifestyle.- Includes all children regardless of fitness

levels as it focuses on the game not the skill level of child.

- Integrates ‘whole’ student. (eg- mental, physical, development etc)

Nutrition in Schools

- Promoting healthy eating habits in the classroom and out. Introducing programs like ‘Munch, Crunch and Sip’ and the ‘2+5 campaign’. To encourage nutrition in child’s everyday routine.

- Using the ‘Food Plate’ and identifying how to incorporate different foods in the right amounts.

- Nutritional benefits of foods for the body.

‘Munch Crunch Sip’ and ‘2+5’

‘Munch Crunch Sip’ – allows students to have a time out during the day to eat healthy foods and rehydrate with water. By incorporating this into the day allows students to incorporate it into their everyday lives.

‘2+5’ – highlights the need for 2 fruit and 5 vegetables per day for a healthy diet.
