PDHPE in Focus is an all new series written specifically for the revised NSW Stage 6 PDHPE syllabus, which is being implemented in 2009. Devised by a respected author team of senior PDHPE educators, PDHPE in Focus covers all core modules and options with completely new content.

The comprehensive format of PDHPE in Focus is designed to help teachers and students successfully navigate the new syllabus, with content directly linked to syllabus dot points. Up-to-date statistics, case studies and articles place topics within context and provide relevance for today’s students. Sample student answers (available on the eText) are linked to dot points throughout the texts and provide examples of actual Band 6 answers to help with exam preparation.

The PDHPE in Focus eText is a valuable tool that aims to strengthen students’ understanding of the topic by making available material such as sample student answers, verb scaffolds, weblinks, video examples and module summary points.
