3. Aim To discuss how we can prepare students to
achieve in Senior Health Education.
To engage in a variety of activities to use with year 9/10 classes to develop an understanding of Key Concepts.
To identify needs that your school requires to help implement a successful Health Education programme.

4. Underlying Concepts Why? NCEA Level 1 assessments are created around
level 6 of the NZC, if our students have a strong understanding of these and can relate them different contexts they will be stepping in the right direction.
How?
The following activities help students make connections with the underlying concepts.

5. NZ Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum (1999)
Levels 4,5,6

6. Well-being, Hauora
Well-being - The concept of well-being encompasses the physical, mental and emotional,
social, and spiritual dimensions of health. This concept is recognised by the WHO.
Hauora - Hauora is a Māori philosophy of health unique to New Zealand. It comprises taha tinana, taha hinengaro, taha whanau, and taha wairua.
Taha tinana - Physical well-being - the physical body, its growth, development, and ability to move, and ways of caring for it
Taha hinengaro - Mental and emotional well-being - coherent thinking processes, acknowledging and expressing thoughts and feelings and responding constructively
Taha whanau - Social well-being - family relationships, friendships, and other interpersonal relationships; feelings of belonging, compassion, and caring; and social support
Taha wairua - Spiritual well-being - the values and beliefs that determine the way people live, the search for meaning and purpose in life, and personal identity and self-awareness (For some individuals and communities, spiritual well- being is linked to a particular religion; for others, it is not.)
Each of these four dimensions of hauora influences and supports the others.

7. Health Promotion
Health promotion is a process that helps to create supportive physical and emotional environments in classrooms, whole schools, communities, and society.
The health promotion process requires the involvement and collective action of all members of the wider school community –students, staff, parents and caregivers, and other community members.
By engaging in health promotion, students and teachers can:
come to understand how the environments in which they live, learn, work, and play affect their personal well-being and that of society
develop the personal skills that empower them to take action to improve their own well-being and that of their environments
help to develop supportive links between the school and the wider community
help to develop supportive policies and practices to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all members of the school community.
Health promotion encourages students to make a positive contribution to their own well-being and that of their communities and environments.
Making Meaning, Making Difference

8. The Socio-ecological Perspective
People can take part in the health promotion process effectively only when they have a clear view of the social and environmental factors that affect health and well-being. Through learning experiences that reflect the socio-ecological perspective, students can seek to remove barriers to healthy choices. They can help to create the conditions that promote their own well-being and that of other people and society as a whole. Through this perspective, students will also come to a better appreciation of how and why individuals differ.
The socio-ecological perspective will be evident when students:
identify and reflect on factors that influence people's choices and behaviours relating to health and physical activity (including social, economic, environmental, cultural, and behavioural factors and their interactions)
recognise the need for mutual care and shared responsibility between themselves, other people, and society
actively contribute to their own well-being, to that of other people and society, and to the health of the environment that they live in.
Through the socio-ecological perspective, students will learn to take into account the considerations that
affect society as a whole as well as individual considerations and will discover the need to integrate these.

9. Attitudes and Values
Programmes in health and physical education contribute to the well-being of individuals and society by promoting the attitudes and values listed below.
Through their learning in health and physical education, students will develop a positive and responsible attitude to their own physical, mental and emotional, social, and spiritual well-being that includes:
valuing themselves and other people
a willingness to reflect on beliefs
the strengthening of integrity, commitment, perseverance, and courage.
They will develop respect for the rights of other people, for example, through:
acceptance of a range of abilities
acknowledgment of diverse viewpoints
tolerance, rangimarie, and open-mindedness.
They will develop care and concern for other people in their community and for the environment through:
cooperation and awhina
applying aroha, manaakitanga, care, compassion, and mahi a ngakau
constructive challenge and competition
positive involvement and participation.
They will develop a sense of social justice and will demonstrate:

11. Strategies
Literacy Strategies to help students get words on paper - RAP, SEXY , PMI Chart, Y Chart.
Using films to provide a context and get specific examples, things such as feelings and responses, influences, consequences, strategies.
Use Role Play to help students understand how to use specific skills or to gain perspective on a situation.
Context choices that create a knowledge base for senior contexts. - The NZC helps with this as the AO’s follow on themes and concepts from level 1-8.
