There is no 'physical' part of PDHPE that is actually assessed/measured. PDHPE consists of all theory which is 2 core topics and the option of 2 from 5 topics to study (which expand from some areas of the cores).
Core one is called 'Health priorities in Australia' and consists of topics such as health priorities, improving australia's health, health promotion, health care facilities and services and the Ottawa Charter.
Core two is called 'Factors affecting performance' and has a bit of a physics aspect to it. We do topics such as training and performance, aerobic training, psychology and performance, nutrition and performance and skill acquisition.
We do some physical stuff VERY occasionally and this is only to test theories or show examples etc. It could be seen as the same as doing practical experiments in science i guess.
I'm not saying that you (Grey Council) think PDHPE is a bludge, but there are a lot of people who think all we do is muck around and play soccer or whatever. It's just like any other subject where you have to work pretty hard and i wish people wouldn't think of it as an 'easy' subject.
