Students benefit from a truly inspirational Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) program at Chatswood High School. Our staff understand our students, engaging and challenging them through a series of innovative activities designed to develop knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes associated with living a healthy and productive life.

  • Personal development, where we continuously challenge and inspire students in an ever difficult and challenging world for adolescents
