NCEA Level 1 Health

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs H. Axtens.


Health Studies engages the three Key Areas of learning (Food and Nutrition, Mental Health, and Relationships and Sexuality) to help ākonga develop an understanding of holistic health models, and the interconnections between the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of people’s lives.


Through Health Studies, ākonga can learn about how kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga, and whanaungatanga contribute to the hauora of individuals, whānau, and communities.


By engaging in this subject, ākonga can:

  • learn how actions can enhance hauora, and explore ways to manage change situations that impact health and wellbeing,

  • develop understanding of current issues related to food, nutrition, and health, and learn how a range of factors influence wellbeing,

  • grow an understanding what contributes to healthy relationships, and develop strategies to strengthen their sense of identity and self-worth.


Ākonga can learn foundational knowledge and skills that can lead to diverse future pathways, including becoming a teacher, and working or studying in the health, community services, government, hospitality, and science sectors.
