Grade 11 Health at HKIS is designed to empower students with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing. Guided by the skills-based National Health Education Standards, we will explore a broad spectrum of topics with a focus on holistic wellness, including physical, mental, emotional, and social dimensions.
Students will:
-
Build the health literacy skills needed to thrive in our rapidly changing world
-
Develop practical tools to manage stress, improve mental health, and build resilience
-
Learn about maintaining a balanced lifestyle with nutrition, sleep and other health enhancing behaviors
-
Engage in discussions about healthy relationships, communication skills, and emotional intelligence
-
Understand the impact of substance abuse and learn strategies for prevention and intervention
-
Analyze the influence of media, community and environmental health on their overall wellbeing
Our approach is interactive and student-centered, with activities such as group projects, peer-led discussions, and hands-on exercises. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the tools to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives and be proactive advocates for wellness in their communities.
