Personal development, health and physical education

Personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE) is mandatory from Kindergarten to Year 10.

According to the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA), students are expected to participate in PDHPE for between 1.5 and 2.5 hours per week in Kindergarten to Year 6.

PDHPE provides students with opportunities to explore issues that are likely to impact on the health, safety and wellbeing of themselves and others – now and in the future. Students also participate in challenging and enjoyable physical activity, improving their capacity to move with skill and confidence.

Caddies Creek is a strong sporting school and many students have represented their region and state in their chosen sport.

The school participates in the Primary School Sports Association (PSSA) competitions where students are selected to play against other schools in the area in sports such as cricket, netball and soccer.
