Throughout the year, students critically examine how music videos and other forms of media influence attitudes towards relationships, sexuality, and gender, encouraging them to question and evaluate the messages they encounter in everyday life. They also explore key adolescent health issues and interview a resilient role model, gaining valuable insights into the protective and risk factors that influence how people respond to change, adversity, and loss. This course encourages students to think critically, communicate confidently, and take action on issues that matter. With opportunities to pursue topics of personal interest, students develop a deeper understanding of health and well-being while building the skills to make informed decisions and positively influence the lives of others. |
