NCEA Level 1 Health Education

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs E. Davison.




Health Education is based around these four Key Health Concepts which underpin all levels of the Health Curriculum, and are embedded within all of the topics that we cover in this senior health course.




Year 11 Health will investigate and explore a range of health and wellbeing models, develop understanding of decision making and how to apply these to health related situations. As well as this, students will gain knowledge of how we can be influenced by factors that affect our wellbeing and investigate strategies that we can use and develop to overcome the corresponding issues on a personal, interpersonal and community level. 

This course offers students an opportunity to gain 15 credits at Level One which sets up a great foundation of knowledge that can be transferred across many subject areas. This course is a great introduction to the Health Physical Education curriculum area and leads on well to Level Two Health, Physical Education, Outdoor Pursuits, Sports Leadership & Performance and Food and Nutrition. 


 

Students who study this course will learn a variety of real life skills that can be transferred to many aspects of their lives outside of school. The interactive and discussion-based nature of the subject makes it an enjoyable learning environment for all students.

Recommended Prior Learning

While there is no prior learning required for this course, if you are a student who is interested in developing a deeper understanding for real-life issues, investigating topics of concern within society and who wants to be more informed about how to make a difference then this course could be for you!
