Year 12 Health
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Hākui A. Hughes.
Course Description: Students are empowered to think critically and shape their own attitudes and values about health issues in New Zealand. We reflect on a number of case studies to develop understanding of personal, interpersonal and societal influence on the choices we make. We do this using concepts of Hauora, and health promotion in order to develop health enhancing strategies to maintain our well-being.
These concepts are explored through the following topics:
Adolescent health issues: such as alcohol use, body image and sexual health
Building resilience: Mental health and strategies to develop resilience
Gender and Sexual Identity: Investigation of Hip hop culture, gender roles
Health Promotion: Students undertake a school wide project to enhance mental health of students at Motueka High School.
