Foundation
The course focuses on providing students with opportunities to develop skills and understandings related to a healthy lifestyle. This course is for students who have not demonstrated the numeracy standard in the OLNA. Through the development of health literacy, students are better equipped to make appropriate and well informed health related decisions and to develop knowledge, understanding and skills which support them to make a positive contribution to the health and wellbeing of themselves and others.
Students will learn about the factors influencing health, wellbeing and physical activity participation, and develop strategies to support them to make health enhancing decisions and adopt active and healthy pursuits, now and across the lifespan. The course supports the development of students’ literacy and numeracy skills and provides them with opportunities to study in contexts such as health promotion, outdoor adventure activities and improving performance in individual and team games and sports.
