Description

Do you ever wonder what influences the health and wellbeing of people? Why does being told something is 'bad' for your health not change people’s behaviours? What really helps to improve aspects of our own and others wellbeing? 

This term promises an engaging exploration of fundamental Health concepts and significant ideas, specifically focusing on Hauora, a holistic way of understanding health and wellbeing. Through exploring topics around food and nutrition, and mental health, we will delve into models of health and understanding the various influences that shape our own and others short and long-term wellbeing.

To provide a holistic approach to nurturing our mental and emotional health we will actively embrace and examine the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. These practices, outlined by https://mentalhealth.org.nz are fundamental to living our best lives.

In Term One there will be a 5-credit internal assessment.

Throughout the year, this course will offer 10 internal and 5 external Level One NCEA credits.

Get ready for an enlightening journey that enriches our understanding of Health and equips us with valuable insights into wellbeing.
