Year 12 Health

This course is all about being a youth in the 21st century. Students investigate the realities of resilience and how to build it for themselves and others. A big focus for the course is a group project where students use the action competency learning process to plan and implement actions to improve wellbeing for the school community. Gender and sexuality issues are explored in one unit and a magazine type article produced. In all these units, plus the learning for the external exam, a main focus is on developing strategies to improve well-being for themselves, for others and for the community.
