HEALTH (SPIN)

Do you care about making a positive difference and giving back to your community? Are you curious about the state of people’s lives and what can be done to make them better? 

Becoming aware of issues related to food & nutrition, mental health & relationships/sexuality helps us to nurture ourselves and those around us. In this course we will develop our understanding of health & wellbeing. We will do this by growing & sharing healthy food (kaitiakitanga), unpacking strategies for managing stress & change, and investigating ways to develop positive identities and interactions with others (Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga).

Through short films, gathering stories, going on trips and interacting with guest speakers, not only will you develop personal and interpersonal skills, you will learn how to navigate the world in a way that contributes to and enhances people’s health and well-being. Learning in this area relates to pathways in the health sector, community services, education and policy development for the wellbeing of individuals, whanau, and communities.
