The purpose of this consultation is to outline the Health programme being delivered at St Joseph's School Pukekohe.
The Education and Training Act of 2020 requires the Board to consult with our school community in order to create a statement on the delivery of the Health and Physical Education Curriculum that meets the expectations of our community and the needs of our students.
According to the New Zealand Curriculum in Health and Physical Education students learn about their own well-being, and that of others and society, in health-related and movement contexts. At the heart of the Health and PE curriculum are the following four interdependent concepts
Hauora - A Maori philosophy of wellbeing that includes the dimensions of taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana and taha whanau.
Attitudes and Values - A positive, responsible attitude on the part of students to their own wellbeing; respect, care and concern for other people and the environment and a sense of social justice.
A socio- ecological perspective - a way of viewing and understanding the interrelationships that exist between the individual, others and society.
Health Promotion - a process that helps to develop and maintain supportive physical and emotional environments and that involves students in personal and collective action.
