Level 2 Health

Why should you take this course?

Why should I take Health you think to yourself? Health Education is where we learn best about ourselves and the needs of our communities, if helping your community, whanau and becoming the best person you can be, this is the subject for you! Health at Tamaki college is a safe place, a time to share and enjoy each other's company in an interactive way. 

Why take Health for the second year running? As you have just touched the surface of your knowledge and ability of yourself at level 1 the subject starts exploring what we learnt in more detail. Our year of learning starts with developing our knowledge on resilience and how to manage a tough changing situation, here we will develop some strategies as a class you can take home to whanau. Afterwards, we start our most useful and exciting new topic of work. We get to create and develop in groups our own health promoting activity to share with the Tamaki community, this where we can be creative and interactive to helping inspire our own community. 

To finish off our internal work we are branching off into sexual and gender identity and we will be analysing issues in hip hop videos, movies and gaming around the perception of what influences these identities. To finish off our year of learning we will analyse some important issues that our teenagers deal with and figure out the influences and strategies to help our community. 

If you have any questions feel free to come and have a kōrero with any of our Health Education Teachers or ask any of the students who did Level 1 this year.

Pick Health for 2022, let's make a difference to ourselves and our Tamaki community.
