Level 2 Health

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Edwards.

HEALTH EDUCATION – YEAR 12
NCEA LEVEL 2
CODE: 12HEA
Level 2 Health Education builds on the knowledge that students have gained in Level 1 Health Education, focusing on health issues relevant to adolescent well-being. Students begin to further develop their ability to think critically about situations that impact the well-being of individuals, such as well known sports people and musicians.  They will investigate the hauora of other people, relationships, and whole communities. 

Students will engage in learning related to the topics of mental health and resiliency, gender and sexuality, and other relevant adolescent health issues. Students will implement a social action where they will look to improve the well-being of the community through physical activity or mental health awareness.

This course is an academic course ideal for students who are wishing to pursue a professional career and follow a pathway towards University entrance. It is an advantage to have taken Level 1 Health but not a requirement to do Level 2 Health. 



Pathway

This course would be ideal for students who are looking at working in the medical industry such as health science, pyschology, counselling, mental health or social services such as social work.
