FNT1: Food and Nutrition

Health Studies is about engaging in three Key Areas of Learning — Food and Nutrition, Mental Health, and Relationships to the hauora of individuals, whānau, and communities. It is about the complex interconnections between the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of people’s lives. Ākonga can explore Māori and Pacific knowledge bases, values, and practices related to hauora. They can learn about hauora as a body of knowledge, and about models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Whā. 

Ākonga will be studying the different models of health and relate their understanding in an agreed form of portraying their work. Work could be in essay form but ākonga and kaiako can agree on other forms of being assessed: such as posters or slide shows ... (whichever works for the task at hand). All the work will also give them learning material that they can use in their exams (externals). Revision will be done from the start of term 3 for the externals. 

Ākonga may have the opportunity to achieve the following: 

• Standard 92008 - Demonstrate understanding of Hauora in a health-related context through the application of a model of health (internal)

• Standard 92009 - Demonstrate understanding of decision-making in a health-related situation (internal)

• Standard 92010 - Demonstrate understanding of factors that influence Hauora (external)

• Standard 92011 - Demonstrate understanding of strategies that enhance Hauora (external)
