* Compulsory
The Learning Area comprises three separate, but related subjects; Health, Physical Education and Home Economics, and includes the area of learning of Outdoor Education. All four share key underlying concepts including the Māori concept of hauora. Therefore, all courses in this Learning Area have a wellbeing focus.
The wide range of courses on offer means that students can study related concepts through a variety of learning experiences; from critical thinking about current health issues, to expeditions in the outdoors, from team and individual sport development, to projects investigating food and nutrition- related issues.
The skills, knowledge and understandings taught relate to everyday life, both now and in the future, thus helping students be lifelong learners and to work towards living their best lives.
