About the Subject
In Health, students focus on the health and well-being of individuals, communities, and societies in the environments they share. They consider the physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual dimensions of well-being. Students develop skills in health literacy and learn to be proactive in promoting lifelong skills to improve health outcomes and quality of life for themselves and their communities.

School Based Assessment | Weighting |
