Health - A Series of Events

 A Series of Events

Explore a range of health-related topics that are engaging, relevant, and current. We will teach you ways to navigate life and allow you to explore your passions.

Semester one is our foundation course, which includes learning about hauora, staying mentally healthy, and positive relationships & sexuality. 

Semester two Life is a series of events: some good, some bad. This Year 9 Health course explores how we can navigate life's events and how we can help others through tough times. In this course, we will cover: 

*Medicine and Health Conditions: Do you want a career in the medical and health sector, or are you interested in medicine? This course will provide you with an insight into various health conditions and treatments, western medicine, Māori medicine, and traditional medicines from around the world. #medicine #health #doctor #nurse #psychologist #hauora, #surgeon #patients #caring

*Animal Therapy: Do you love animals? This section of the course will explore the purpose of animal therapy and service animals. We will learn about how the training occurs and discover how the animal interacts with owners to meet their needs. We may even be lucky enough to have some animal visits! This course will explore the effectiveness of therapy and service animals, the positive impact the animals have on owners and their families, and what we can do to support therapy and service animals. #animals #support #health #conditions #safety 

*Death, Dying, and the Afterlife: What happens to us when we pass away? How do different cultures celebrate a loved one's life? Have you ever wondered what happens to a person's spirit or soul? Do you believe in an afterlife? Are you interested in learning about different death, dying, and afterlife rituals, beliefs, and processes? This course will explore these questions and more! #wairua #religion #culture #spirits #body #loss #grief #celebration #whānau
