Years 7 to 9 Subjects – Wellbeing and Health
Wellbeing and Health is designed to support students’ personal, social, and academic growth. In line with the World Health Organisation’s (2014) definition of wellbeing and the ACARA V9 Health curriculum focus areas (Identities and change, interacting with others and making healthy and safe choices), this subject helps students build essential life skills.
Students will explore key topics including:
- transition into High School and change,
- developing resilience and adaptability,
- healthy friendships,
- understanding the qualities of respectful and supportive relationships, and
- digital safety; learning to navigate the online world responsibly.
These units work together to empower students to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
This subject is one lesson per week over both semesters.
