Spiritual and Emotional Wellbeing.Feelings of self-confidence and self-acceptance and the ability to act in the best interests

of themselves and others are fostered by an understanding of the nature of life’s changes

and the uniqueness of individual development. (Personal Development Health and Physical Education, 2013, p.7)

Meaning that PDHPE aims to do away with ‘I’ by moulding everyone’s individual learning

styles and personalities into a ‘we’ creating a more productive learning environment. The

aim is not to homogenise the aim is to form and maintain healthy rewarding relationships

expanding on what they know and what they can do.

Social Wellbeing.Successful interaction with others in contexts such as the family, peer group and teams is essential to meet the individual’s need for belonging and security. Students’ capacity to form relationships and cope with changes in relationships is influenced by understandings and skills in negotiation, conflict resolution, tolerance, roles, responsibilities and community expectations associated with friendships and relationships.(Personal Development Health and Physical Education, 2013, p.7)

We Are All Teachers.On our homepage I ask parents to become honorary roadies I did this to show students that education does not have to stop the minute they leave the gates. My job is to make my students aware that they are allowed to explore their curiosities outside of the school setting; that there are no right or wrong answers. If my students are made to feel embarrassed and scared by those closest to them they risk not fulfilling their potential which can lead to illnesses such as depression. So all of the community needs to acknowledge that they play the role of teacher at some point no matter how small that role is. The quality of the lesson depends however on how it is delivered; poor choices made by those in positions of authority can alter a child’s make up dramatically permanently scarring the student.
