Year 10 Health
Although next year timetables are yet to be finalised, course selection is now finished. Any changes to student courses will now take place in January.
Course Description
Health is a compulsory (core) subject in the junior school. The subject is holistic and wide ranging, exploring different topics such as resilience, bullying, friendships, relationships, sexuality and gender (not sex education) social media and screen addiction and nutrition.
The overarching theme throughout the year is based around the model of health - Te whare tapa wha (well-being). Through each unit of learning, students reflect on their own well-being and discuss issues related to each of these topics.
In year 10, students are expected to also look/think outside of their own world and reflect on how different issues affect not only themselves but their peers, family and community.
Disclaimer
Course Selection is confirmed at the start of 2025. You can change the courses you have selected up until the start of next year provided there are still spaces in the course you wish to change to.
Some courses may become unavailable due to the number of students taking the courses or changes in staffing.
New courses may also be introduced, in which case you will be notified and given the opportunity to select the new course.
