All young people at St Machar Academy attend PSE one period per week. These lessons are planned and led by the relevant Principal Teacher Guidance. Broadly speaking, PSE focuses on holistic health (mental, social, emotional and physical) and wellbeing (safe, healthy, achieving, nurtured, active, respected, responsible, included) education. It aims to empower young people to make safe, informaed and appropriate choices, and to highlight the links netween this and positive life outcomes.
The PSE curriculum focuses on four broad areas:
Planning for choices and change
Physical activity and health
Substance misuse
Relationships, sexual health and parenthood
