The learning focus for health fits under the umbrella of Health Knowledge and promotion in VELS.
Students in years 7 and 8 study the physical, emotional and social changes that occur in the Adolescent stage of the lifespan and discus factors that influence their own development. These include the effect of the family and the Community on an individual’s personal identity and values.
At level 5, Lalor North Secondary College has adopted a pastoral care approach where one lesson per week is used to develop strategies to improve the individual’s health.
At year 9, each student is required to complete a Semester unit of Health.
At Level 6, the focus is on the social and cultural factors which influence Adolescents, and the rights and responsibilities associated with greater independence.
Students learn about Community services available to support the health needs of young people and discuss strategies to improve overall good health and nutrition.
