Year 11 Health Studies
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Davies.
Health Studies is about engaging in three Key Areas of Learning — Food and Nutrition, Mental Health, and Relationships and Sexuality in relation to hauora, and the health and wellbeing of individuals, whānau, and communities. It is about the complex interconnections between the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of people’s lives.
Students enjoy and engage in subject matter that is directly relevant and applicable to their lives now and in the future.
The Big Ideas in this course include the following:
- Hauora needs to be approached through a holistic understanding
- Kaitiakitanga and whakawhanaungatanga are vital for the wellbeing and sense of self-worth of individuals, whānau, and communities
- Personal, interpersonal, and societal perspectives of wellbeing and manaakitanga are complex and interconnected
- Social justice principles of fairness and inclusivity are central to hauora and wellbeing
Students can expect to unpack these concepts through interpersonal and engaging activities and tasks throughout the year.
Recommended Prior Learning
