L3 Health

Course Description

In Level 3 Health, students will learn to develop critical insights into current societal issues relating to well-being. Students will develop a range of skills that they can use to:

· Help them manage their own well-being (eg how to make health-enhancing choices and understand the influences in the world around them)
· Support the well-being of others (eg how to communicate effectively and see issues from different perspectives)
· Contribute meaningfully and responsibly to the well-being of communities (eg how to look critically at well-being issues affecting communities and to plan and take collective action).

Contexts for some of the units of work will be chosen in consultation with students based on relevance and interest. The assessments in this course are evidence-based and therefore a willingness to put time into research, and to read widely on the topics studied is an expectation. There is a substantial step-up in the reading and writing requirements from Level 2 Health. 

Level 3 Health is a University entrance-approved subject and offers both university entrance Reading and Writing credits.


Prerequisites

Level 2 Health, or minimum of 10 Level 2 English, or minimum of 10 History or Geography credits, or with HOD approval.
