Year 10 Health

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.
