ContentThis course is divided into a health component and a practical component. The health component of the course is based on the SHINE program. Participation aims to improve the student’s ability to develop healthy relationships, be confident and happy within themselves and their bodies, and make well-informed and safe decisions now and in the future. Topics include respect, sexuality, diversity, relationships, gender/ power/stereotypes, safer sex, negotiation and consent. The practical component extends the range of sports activities students have covered in the compulsory courses in year 8. The focus is on developing game skills and knowledge to improve performance; however, students will also be expected to develop and display personal qualities, attitudes, and behaviours consistent with positive outcomes for individuals and groups. |
