Personal development, health and physical education

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

We enjoy participating in sports at Fort Street. Students in K-2 play modified games and develop fundamental skills in weekly lessons. Students in Years 3-6 are provided with opportunities to join our PSSA sports teams. Fort Street participates in sports against other schools in the Balmain PSSA zone.

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.
