PDHPE

/ by Lindsey Pacchini High School PDHPE Teacher, Class 9-10 Guardian

At Kindlehill we offer an extensive PDHPE Personal Development and program, through a mixture of both practical and theoretical lessons. We also offer the world renowned ‘Rock and Water’ program to our students, aimed at building resilience, self-control and self-confidence. 

In our theoretical lesson students will learn about a range of age-appropriate topics which are tailored to each cohort of students from the perspective of both need and interest.  

These include: 

  • food and nutrition 
  • personal identity 
  • mental health and wellbeing 
  • alcohol and other drugs 
  • relationships 
  • sexuality and sexual health 
  • safety 
  • health benefits of physical activity 

In our practical PE lessons, students have access to a wide range of activities and opportunities. With the Wentworth Falls Lake on our doorstep, we are able to offer a range of activities during the warmer months. These include kayaking, paddle polo, water volleyball, water polo and swimming.  

Some of the other activities that students participate in are: 

  • street hockey 
  • mini Tennis 
  • Basketball 
  • Netball 
  • Netsal 
  • Fitness circuits 
  • Indoor rowing 
  • Frisbee 
  • Dance 
  • Cheer 
  • Circus 
  • Indigenous games 
  • Volleyball 
  • Athletics 
  • Frisbee golf 
  • Bushwalking 
  • Geocaching
