NCEA Level 2 Health

Course Description

Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mrs S. Hainsworth.

Through this course students will analyse health issues that affect the well-being of individuals, others and society. Students will learn to take collective action to enhance student well-being within our school or community. Gender and sexual identity issues that impact our society are explored and students are encouraged to develop strategies that promote social justice for all. Students will evaluate risk and protective factors associated with a resilient role model and evaluate how they manage change, build resilience and enhance their mental health. Other adolescent health issues covered within this course may include but not limited to teenage drinking, social media, drug use, stress management, and managing relationship conflict.  

Digital technology is strongly utilised within this course with teachers using Microsoft teams and OneNote to deliver learning. Students are expected to undertake their own research into current health issues impacting our society so a device is essential. 

Students will develop the skills of critical thinking, collaboration, research skills and health promotion.
