Level 2 Health is a course where students can explore topics that are relevant to real life as well as building on prior knowledge of key Health concepts. Topics covered in the course include investigating a 'resilient role model', and exploring what influences gender and sexuality along with developing strategies to address these influences. Our externally assessed standards focus on various adolescent health issues and interpersonal issues regarding personal safety such as bullying, discrimination, harassment or intimidation. The essence of our course is understanding influences and consequences across all topics and coming up with health enhancing strategies in response.


The standards offered in this course may be altered at the discretion of the Head of Department.
