Health Education

Year 8

Students are introduced to a broad range of health issues. We emphasise that health encompasses 5 facets: spiritual, mental/intellectual, social, emotional and physical. Students will learn to identify skills and strategies to manage change, and promote all aspects of their own and others’ health, including making informed decisions, using assertive responses, and making contingency plans to avoid and prevent risks to health. Students will also learn how to identify the impact of negative behaviours on relationships and describe a range of factors and their impact on a person’s emotional response and behaviour.
