Community and Family Studies

In this episode of The PDHPE and CAFS Podcast, we dive into the exciting changes and challenges in delivering PDHPE in primary schools. I’m joined by our K-6 Mentor and experienced primary school teacher, Lyndelle Batten, as we discuss how the new K-6 PDHPE syllabus presents an opportunity to reimagine what PDHPE looks like in New South Wales schools.

We explore:
✅ The key challenges primary teachers face in delivering PDHPE
✅ Why PDHPE is undervalued and how we can change that
✅ The impact of leadership on PDHPE priorities
✅ Practical strategies for embedding fundamental movement skills into daily classroom routines
✅ How to work smarter, not harder when planning and programming
✅ The K-6 PDHPE Membership and how it can support your school.

If you’re a primary teacher, an RFF teacher, or a school leader passionate about elevating PDHPE, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to make PDHPE more accessible, engaging and valued in your school community.
