Health Consultation 2022.
This survey to collect feedback from our community on our Health programs. Under the Education Act we are required  to consult with our school community at least every two years on how the school will implement the health education component of the curriculum.

At Tauhara College our vision is, as a community, we encourage engaged, purposeful, life-long learning with a pathway that leads to further learning and employment. Health Education at Tauhara College will be delivered in alignment with the New Zealand Curriculum  and the Tauhara College vision and charter.

The Health and Physical Education learning area is underpinned by seven key areas of learning -
       -Mental health
       -Relationships and sexuality education
       -Food and nutrition
       -Body care and physical safety
       -Physical activity
       -Sport studies
       -Outdoor education

For our Health program we focus on
       -Mental health
       -Relationships and sexuality education
       -Food and nutrition
       -Body care and physical safety

Tauhara College junior health teachers will use a range of teaching approaches and learning contexts to develop learners’ understanding of these concepts of Health Education and aim to equip learners with the skills needed to enable them to make health-enhancing life choices. Units of learning will be regularly reviewed in order to ensure that our Health Education program is meeting the learning needs of our students and reflects best practice in Health Education.

Health Education is compulsory for Years 9 and 10 and is an optional NCEA subject in the senior school, aligning with the Health and Physical Education learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum.

We aim to plan and deliver culturally responsive and engaging units of learning that empower students to make health enhancing choices in the key areas of learning.

There are also other opportunities where outside agencies come into the school to deliver sessions on Health education from time to time. This is a responsibility of Tauhara College to engage with a wider community of health education providers.
