HEALTH - Full Year

L1HEA
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms L. Starr.

With teenagers getting messages from a variety of sources about how to look, how to behave and what they should be doing it is now more important than ever to critically think about the messages they are given and the impact this can have on their wellbeing. 

In this course we will look at how a person’s health can be affected physically, mentally, socially and spiritually through the choices they make in terms of how they live their lives and how to make positive change. We will look at the communication and decision making skills needed to navigate major issues around mental health and resilience, relationships and sexuality education and drugs and look at actions that could be taken to make themselves, communities and society fairer and more inclusive. This will be done through varied practical and in class activities. The ability to work well both individually and as part of a group is important.
