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 300 hours per year in Years 7 to 10.
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.
Sport at Macksville High School
All students are expected to participate in sport each week. Years 11 and 12 students only are exempt from Wednesday sport. Students who are injured and can not participate in sport must bring a note. Students who misbehave at sport will be placed on a sport detention the following week.
Parents should be aware that getting messages to students during sport on Wednesdays can be difficult and we can not guarantee that the student will receive the message.
