Health Level 2
Option Description
Teacher in Charge: Whaea K. O'Donnell.
In year 12, students will analyse, evaluate and take action to enhance people’s well-being within the school or wider community. They will also analyse adolescent health issues and evaluate factors that influence people’s ability to change. Additionally, students will analyse issues related to sexuality and gender in order to develop strategies for addressing the issues.
You will get to explore topics that are relevant to improving not only your own health and well-being, but that of your friends and whānau in our Edgewater community. There will be opportunities to do this both within the classroom and outside on school trips.
In this class you will get the best possible support from your teacher to help with your learning, and achieving your academic and well-being goals. The classroom environment is safe, supportive and lots of fun. We’d love to have you in our class!
