Year 9 Well-being

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Mildenhall, Miss L. Jackson.

Year 9 Well-being

Well-being focuses on developing students' identity and well-being, enabling them to develop a stronger sense of who they are as students, young people and New Zealanders. 

We have placed a large emphasis on physical well-being and students have participated in the Thrive Nation programme where they can track their physical progress on an App as well as perform regular wellness check-ins. 

Students have explored the Huaora model of well-being and the course covers a wide range of subjects, including the full health curriculum. Students will have the opportunity to learn about their bodies and about how to keep themselves healthy in body and mind as young people and as they get older as well as practically developing physical literacy.         

They will have the chance to explore their identities as individuals and as members of the community.
