The Health Education Program complements the wider school’s wellbeing program TripleR based on Relationships, Resilience and Reflection. This subject seeks to create a positive environment which protects, nurtures and extends to students the skills of self-care and help-seeking.

This subject is taught by teachers with training and experience in Health Education, so that issues may be dealt with sensitively in a classroom environment that respects student privacy, cultural beliefs and personal views. The physical, social, mental and emotional safety of students is promoted.

The main objective is to assist students to make positive decisions about a range of issues. Students are encouraged to consider all the facts, possible consequences and assess their personal values.
