Level 2 Health

Level 2 Health covers 4 Achievement Standards made up of three internal and one external assessments.

• Managing Change:  Students will learn about change situations and the risk and protective factors that support people to navigate change throughout their lives. In their assessment students will interview a person that has been through a change and explain the strategies they used to manage their change situation.
• Gender and Sexuality:  In this unit, students will investigate influences on gender and sexuality. These might be things such as media, religion and expectations.  We will then explore strategies that can be put in place to address the influences.  
• Take Action: Students will learn about health promotion and how this can impact on people's health behaviours. Students will then plan how they are going to inform the students about a health issue ( eg drugs, mental health, bullying ). They will implement their plan and evaluate its effectiveness. 
• Interpersonal issue: Students will learn about situations where power imbalances exist in interactions with others, that put personal safety at risk. This could include situations involving acts of discrimination, intimidation, victimisation, harassment and bullying. Students will explain factors that can lead to these situations, consequences relating to personal safety and strategies that could be implemented to manage unsafe situations.
