Synopsis

This  unit will focus on various health problems which are of  concern
to  the  individual,  and students will gain an awareness  of  factors
which influence their own personal health. Emphasis will be placed  on
the  individual taking responsibility for adopting positive attitudes,
values  and behaviours which will enhance health. Aspects of  physical
well-being, fitness, human relationships, sexuality and the prevention
and treatment of illness and disease will be studied.

Understanding  the body systems and aspects of normal development  and
functioning  in  relation  to  good health  and  disease  will  be  an
important component of this unit. Structural and functional aspects of
the human body will be studied.
