Health and Wellbeing

"Learning through health and wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking and positive attitudes and dispositions. Because of this, it is the responsibility of every teacher to contribute to learning and development in this area." (Building the Curriculum 1)

At Holy Family pupils can expect their learning environment to support them to:

•   develop my self-awareness, self-worth and respect for others

• meet challenges, manage change and build relationships

•  experience personal achievement and build my resilience and confidence

• understand and develop my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing and social skills

•  understand how what I eat, how active I am and how decisions I make about my behaviour and relationships affect my physical and mental wellbeing

•  participate in a wide range of activities which promote a healthy lifestyle

•  understand that adults in my school community have a responsibility to look after me, listen to my concerns and involve others where necessary

• learn about where to find help and resources to inform choices

• assess and manage risk and understand the impact of risk-taking behaviour

• reflect on my strengths and skills to help me make informed choices when planning my next steps

• acknowledge diversity and understand that it is everyone’s responsibility to challenge discrimination.
