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.

At Eastern Creek Public School students participate in sports and fitness activities on a weekly basis.

Students are given opportunities to participate in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals.

Additional activities including tennis, gymnastics, and NRL clinics are provided for students.

Students are provided with opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities within the community including Swimming Schemes, Woolworths Cricket Blast and Gala Days such as League Tag.
