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
