Grafton High School’s Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) Program offers a unique opportunity to promote physical activity and skill development in a structured, safe, supervised and regulated environment.

Students develop confidence in their life skills and abilities and are more likely to continue these practices into and beyond adolescence and to develop positive expectations about their health and participation in games and sport.
