Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Overview From the onset, PDHPE is an academic subject suited best for students wishing to achieve a ATAR allowing for matriculation into University. The Department strongly recommends that students not wishing to follow this path seriously consider SLR as a subject over the more rigorous PDHPE. Some other keys facts why you should consider including PDHPE in your HSC study program include : • You don’t have to be good at sport to succeed in this subject! This is a 100% theory based subject. • On average the College has achieved above the state average in this subject over the past five years. • The College has achieved Band 6’s in PDHPE in each of the past five years • In 2008 across NSW, more than half of those with an ATAR over 90 studied 2 Unit PDHPE. The top ATAR student at the College in 2008, took PDHPE as part of his study program. • 2 Unit PDHPE is an excellent base for students wishing to undertake tertiary study in the Sciences, Human Movement, Medicine, Physical Education, Sports Management, Physiotherapy and Sports Journalism. Content The Preliminary course examines a range of areas that underpin health and physical activity. This includes how people think about health and physical activity, the management of personal health and the basis for how the body moves. Students have the opportunity to select from a range of practical options in areas such as first aid, outdoor recreation, composing and performing and fitness choices. In the HSC course, students focus on major issues related to Australia’s health status. They also look at factors that affect physical performance. They undertake optional study from a range of choices. This includes investigating the health of young people or of groups experiencing health inequities. In other options, students focus on improved performance and safe participation by learning about advanced approaches to training or sports medicine concepts. There is also an opportunity to think critically about the factors that impact on sport and physical activity in Australian society.
