Welcome to the latest episode of PDHPE Pulse – the official video podcast of the PDHPE Teachers’ Association!
In this episode of PDHPE Pulse, Andre is joined by Kellie Coates, PDHPE teacher and founder of Big Picture Health, for a thought-provoking conversation on the evolving role of Physical Education in young people’s lives.
Together, they explore how high-quality PDHPE can build long-term resilience, why explicit mental health strategies belong within PDHPE, and the key factors shaping girls’ participation in sport and their pathways into athletic careers. The discussion also highlights the importance of maintaining personal values and standards in health education, and how modelling these behaviours can positively influence and empower students.
Kellie also shares the story behind Big Picture Health and its mission to enrich, elevate, and support the wellbeing of the next generation through meaningful, values-driven health education.
