Level 3 Health (3HEA)
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Verry.
Health at this level is an academic subject with its conceptual underpinning and capacity for critical thinking, rather than being just a subject aiming to promote health in young people’s lives. It is certainly a subject with academic legitimacy addressing both academic knowledge and life skills. This course requires students to use research skills to perceptively analyse the following health issues: A New Zealand health issue, ethical issues, health practices and poverty’s impact on life outcomes such as disease, sexual health or life expectancy.
