Personal and Social Education

Personal and social education classes at Mackie Academy follow the Broad General Education Health and Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes.

The Health and wellbeing curriculum teaches your child about:

• mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing

• planning for choices and change

• substance misuse

• sexual health and relationships

The purpose of health and wellbeing is to help every child and young person to feel cared for and valued as an individual. Learning about health and wellbeing will help them cope with uncertainties in life, have confidence to try new and different things and make the most of opportunities that come along.
