As a teacher , I find that PDHPE influences good quality of life less sickness and a happier person.

The subject allows students to adapt to a healthy lifestyle , affected by social and cultural influences.

PDHPE promotes the fundamental principle of diversity , social justice and supportive environments, therefore individuals and communities are better able to act for positive health outcomes.
