Health Education
Junior Health
The Health Curriculum "addresses how contextual factors influence the health, safety, wellbeing, and physical activity patterns of individuals, groups and communities". Through a strengths based approach, students "develop skills, self efficacy and allows students to "positively influence, their own and others’ health and wellbeing". Furthermore the promotion of "physical fitness, health body weight and psychological wellbeing" increases the likelihood of prosocial behaviour in enhancing one's on health and wellbeing, leading to a reduction on chronic disease.
