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.

Wyong Creek students enter the PSSA small schools sports competition each year. This allows us to compete with other small schools across the state. 

We also compete against other local small schools in swimming, athletics and cross country.

Fitness and sports activities are important aspects of our regular learning programs.
