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.
