Personal Development, Health and Physical Education Faculty

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education is one of the 4 Key Learning Areas (KLA's) and is compulsory for all students attending NSW schools.

In order to complete the course outcomes in the practical component of this course they must follow the following guidelines regarding their PE uniform:

  • Students can only wear the correct PDHPE/sport uniform during practical lessons – New PE shirt/dark blue shirt & Navy Blue Shorts (not regular school shorts).
  • Students are not permitted to wear their regular school uniform under their PE /sport unifom.
  • " Wet or threatening weather is no excuse for a student not to have his correct PE gear. The school has a number of sheltered areas that can be used during inclement weather.
  • If a student's correct PE/sport uniform is unavailable another change of clothes must be bought along instead. A note from a parent or guardian explaining why is also necessary.
  • If a student is unable to participate due to injury or illness then a note from a parent or guardian is necessary. They will be required to undertake other relevant PDHPE written work.

Students who fail to follow these directions may be given detentions, litter collection duties or other tasks. Continued refusal to follow these directions will result in Head Teacher intervention and/or parents being contacted.
