Stronger together for PDHPE in NSW.

ACHPER NSW and the PDHPE Teachers' Association have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, formalising a partnership between the two organisations that support health and physical education teachers across New South Wales.

Both organisations exist for the same reason: quality teaching and learning in PDHPE, and better health, wellbeing and physical activity outcomes for every student in NSW. This agreement means we pursue that with one aligned voice, while each retaining our own governance and independence.

Signed by Tracy Puckeridge, Chief Executive Officer, ACHPER NSW, and Andre De-Villiers, President, PDHPE Teachers' Association.

More to come as we develop our first joint activities. Watch this space.

🎯 Session: Beyond the Game: The Hidden Curriculum of Practical PDHPE

What if the most important lessons in PDHPE aren’t the games we teach, but what students learn through them?

Participants will leave with:
✅ Practical strategies for intentional game design
✅ Ways to embed social and emotional learning into practical lessons
✅ Strategies to develop the whole child through movement
✅ Ideas ready to use in the PDHPE classroom

🎙️ New Episode: PDHPE Pulse Podcast – Francis Owusu

What happens when movement, performing arts, identity and education come together? A powerful conversation about helping young people find their confidence and become Unstoppable.

In this episode, André De-Villiers - FTGN chats with the incredible Francis Owusu about his journey of self-discovery, the power of movement, and the important role performing arts can play in the health and wellbeing of young people.

Francis shares his story of growing up and finding his identity and confidence through Rock Eisteddfod, leading to the creation of Kulture Break and the Unstoppable 24 Movement Challenge. They explore the impact these programs can have on both students and teachers.

The conversation also asks an important question: What do young people really need from educators today?

From movement and expression to connection and performance, creating opportunities for young people to discover who they are can have a profound impact on their confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging.

💬 A conversation about movement, education, identity and finding your own way to be Unstoppable.
