PE and schools wellbeing curriculum – Paddy O’Reilly

April 03, 2024

PE Teacher Paddy O’Reilly (and Chairperson of PExpo) speaks to Wendy about how schools nationwide are meant to provide 400 hours in a school calendar year that comes under the title of ‘Wellbeing’ which includes Games and PE classes. However, he shares that it’s up to the discretion of each school to decide how many of those hours they allocate to PE.


Paddy shares about the positive impact he sees fitness and exercise have in the lives of young people, and how he’s getting schools from across the country involved in the upcoming PExpo.
