Building Strong Foundations for Lifelong Wellbeing
Primary school is an ideal time to establish positive habits that support children's health, learning and wellbeing. Simone Says presentations provide practical, age-appropriate education that helps girls build confidence, develop healthy routines and understand how everyday choices influence how they feel, learn and grow.

How This Supports PDHPE Learning
Simone Says presentations are designed to complement the NSW K–6 PDHPE syllabus by bringing classroom learning to life through practical, real-world application.
While PDHPE introduces important health and wellbeing concepts, these presentations provide opportunities for students to explore how healthy habits can be applied in their everyday lives through engaging activities, discussions and practical strategies.
Students leave with knowledge they can confidently use beyond the classroom.
