For Caitlyn to finally start identifying as the gender she has always been, it really does warm my heart - it was hard for me to start accepting myself and the fact that I wasn't cisgender, too, so for her to finally reveal herself to the world is mind-blowing to me!! And I understand, that you'd think the media should not just focus on just her, but please remember - cisgendered people have a 1 in 18,000 chance of being murdered. Transgender people are 1 in 12, with 1 in 4 if you are a trans-woman. ANY POSITIVE PUBLICITY TOWARDS THOSE WHO AREN'T CISGENDER SHOULD LITERALLY BE PLAYED OVER AND OVER, UNTIL WE DON'T JUST RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THEIR GENDER, BUT TREAT THEM EXACTLY THE SAME AS WE WOULD TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE ELSE. Also, by saying that we shouldn't all focus on Caitlyn, can you name any other transgendered person who could've gone in her place? Can you, at all? What about Leelah Alcorn, Laverne Cox, Carmen Carrera, Jamison Green, B. Scott? Before you say that we shouldn't focus on her, please either know, learn or research about others that should be getting attention from media instead, thanks.

I think it is absolutely amazing what Caitlyn has done, she has not only opened the door to so many more opportunities for herself, but for so many confused scared transgenders out there, she has willingly done this to help others out there from what she was afraid of when she was a a young boy stuck in a males body, and I would like to think that it would encourage many other confused teens/kids/adults to not be afraid to be themselfs

# data[].attributes.body
I think that she or he shouldn't be getting as much as she has been getting because there is alot more other people that are in the same situation but get no attention.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that is absolutely great! Like he can finally be who she wants to be and not being fake. I like how she's being true to herself. I love you

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's absolutely great that Bruce Jenner can finally be his true self; Caitlyn Jenner. She has come such a long way and not being the real her. She gives a pathway and is a true role model for others who are struggling in what was Caitlyn Jenners situation. So many people support her! She is one amazing person ❤️

# data[].attributes.headline
Carlene I think its so great that she has come out as caitlyn Jenner! I can just imagine how great she would feel being who she believes she truely is, so comfortable in her own skin. It raises awareness for other transgenders and may help them coming out, but not only to other transgender but gays, etc. I think that by having a celebrity do this it really is getting everyone aware of these sort of deals that people go through and the struggles that also comes with it. Although saying this, there has been so much commotion going on that this is the only thing that everyone has been talking about and not bigger issues. I think that people should just move on and be more open minded and accepting, then the world would just be a better place for everybody

my thoughts are that shes actuly really brave to be doing this it would take alot to come out like this expesily with how famous she is. but its good that she doing this and showing people it is okay and its not wrong to be who you are

# data[].attributes.body
Thoughts on the whole Caitlyn Jenner news. Should she be getting as much attention as she is at the moment when there are other transgenders out there? Share your opinions/thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
it would be horrible to be locked up for 20 odd years for something you didn't do and to be called a rapist and murderer when you didnt even do this bad and disgusting crime so he should be shown respect because he was not the murderer and shouldnt have done the time for something that someone else done.

# data[].attributes.body
It's horrible, been given a sentence for something you hadn't even done. All those years, just gone, stripped from him and unable to be given back, years of happiness that were never able to exist.

# data[].attributes.body
well so they're saying that he was innocently charged and given the life sentence; when you spend 21 years in jail, of course you're going to change- for better or for worse and I would have thought that if he was inncoent her

# data[].attributes.body
Considering he went to prison for a good number of years, it would seem like he's come away from it a different person. He is willing to talk about his past and his feelings and the changes he is going to make. He seems like an honest and genuine person who has learnt from his mistakes.

I think that his mum must have to be one of the strongest people, her well being and strength must be incredible to be able to see her son go through so much pain and and agony day after day. her little son has one of the scariest and rare diseases in the world I feel for him to be able to go day after day in pain, but still staying strong and having a smile on his face.

# data[].attributes.body
I would expect his mum to come across as mental and emotionally stable because of everything she has to do. her little boy has a condition that no body wants and as a parent she would have to be strong so that she can help her boy over come the challenges he is facing. it seems to be very difficult for her to cope with this and she spend all her time taking care of her child which might make her social well-being a little unstable. she much have a lot of family helping her out which would make her spiritual well-being go up. she would be thankful for or the help she gets and i would hope that they could find a cure for her son.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that his mum is a strong person and it would of been hard watching her son being in pain and suffering when there is nothing she can do about it . i think that her well being is unstable because shes having to look after her son all the time but seeing how her sons positive attitude towards his illness is will make her want to have a more positive outcome about the situation .

# data[].attributes.body
i think that she would have be so emotionally stable to be able to handle and process everything that her son has went through so her mental and emotional wellbeing would enhance and also her spiritual, just being there for him and with him during his illness, watching everything and being his support system her spiritual wellbeing would increase. Seeing him have so much willpower and positive attitude to beat this she would want to hold the same amount of determination as well, she would know just by her son to never take anything for granted and just love life + don't let anything hold you back

# data[].attributes.body
His mum's well-being has enhanced quite dramatically. Having to see her son in pain would hurt her a lot, but seeing how positive he is about his life, even with his condition, enhances her well-being physically, spritually, mentally and emotionally because she can be positive if he's positive too.

# data[].attributes.body
This was quite emotional to watch to be honest, this is obviously super hard and painfull for him. Poor guy.Honestly if I had a child with this illness I wouldn't be able to cope so his mother is so strong and I respect her so much. He has sort of adapted to his illness but I wish he never did has it anyway. I would say that his mother's well being would be quite strong to cope with this. No mother should have to go day by day watching their child in pain. Good on her

# data[].attributes.body
Obviously, his mother is impacted in such way to make her a stronger person, with changing his bandages everyday, dealing with his pain, his illness, & disability with not being able to do the things a 9 year old should be able to do, her life revolves her son,I would seem her positivity towards life, enhancing her well being in a good way with not taking herself for granted.

# data[].attributes.body
. He is so passionate about sports and doesn't let anything stop him from keeping away from it, even though he can't physically play he still does everything he can from getting as involved as possible. And yeah, he is so strong physically as well, you can tell the bandaging process is actually excruciatingly painful and I could never imagine or even process the very pain he experiences EVERY day, EVEN when he sleeps.

# data[].attributes.body
His mother is a very strong woman. She would have to be to have to watch your kid suffer like that . Her well being would be in my opinion unstable. Having to worry about her son all the time like if he is in pain or not or how long he has to live. I think that because that's how I would feel besides being hopeful that he is okay as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Following on from the video that William posted last week. The question is, how is the well being of his mother impacted/enhanced by her experiences with EB?

# data[].attributes.body
this was so hard for me to watch. I think that his mental/emotional well-being is so strong partly because he has always live that way, he doesn't know different... but that doesn't stop him from trying to escape the pain whilst he sleeps. Also I think one of main support he has is his mum. He and his mum would have such a strong and healthy relationship from going through his condition together. I think spiritually he is amazing. He is so passionate about sports and doesn't let anything stop him from keeping away from it, even though he can't physically play he still does everything he can from getting as involved as possible. And yeah, he is so strong physically as well, you can tell the bandaging process is actually excruciatingly painful and I could never imagine or even process the very pain he experiences EVERY day, EVEN when he sleeps.

# data[].attributes.body
He has so much support and belief in him and that makes his emotional and mental well-being stronger by the day. He's constantly in pain  but nothing stops him from getting out there and doing the stuff he wants to do which encourages his social and physical well-being, as well as him wanting to help other children and people like himself.

# data[].attributes.body
This is just so sad and emotional to hear and watch. But he should never give up on his dreams. This is just so pain full for him but however I think when he meets someone with the same skin problem his well-being will go up a lot, and phsical keeps getting better and better

# data[].attributes.body
This is so emotional to watch ,what this young little boy is going through this and how he keeps strong and not giving up on his dreams and wanted to help others in need like him.I think his well-being will be enhances postivly ,physical keeping strong,even though the pain he gos though is really bad and even wanted to play physical sports ,and not giving up on the things he wants.mental and emotional having the best support and being in a loving environment,also that he wants to help others to get thought what he's going thought.also him as a young boys,he's trying to get involved in activities and wanted to meet to people.I admire the way how he accepts his conditions and how he actually wants to live his life,and stay positive ,though he struggles everyday,he's always looking on the bright side of things and such a happy child .

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen this documentary before, it was hard for me to watch, I found it quite graphic, but to be able to see and understand his story it needs to be graphic, I love the way now he takes his condition, even though how much main he must be in each and every day, his positivy towards life amazes me, his well being is positively affected by all the amazing people surrounded by him all the time, ie his mother, each and everyday she bathes him, changes him, even with this condition he aspires to things, and this shall not stop him with his positivity towards life.

# data[].attributes.body
His mental and emotional well being are something almost incomparable to anything else - he knows he will die young, and he knows he will suffer everyday until he does so, but to still want to be socially out there as much as possible, even though he cannot walk independently, to help out with the game, even though he cannot physically attribute to it, and to see such a light in this world, to think positively everyday until he can't anymore, is what touches me the most.

# data[].attributes.body
This story really touches my heart. His spiritual well-being is unbelievably strong. He goes through the most painful experiences day after day and he still manages to keep a positive attitude and soldiers on. He has so much support and belief in him and that makes his emotional and mental well-being stronger by the day. He's constantly in pain  but nothing stops him from getting out there and doing the stuff he wants to do which encourages his social and physical well-being, as well as him wanting to help other children and people like himself.

# data[].attributes.body
His spiritual well being has got to be soooo strong. The fact that even though he is in pain all the time, he wont stop what he's doing. He never doubted himself and kept on dreaming. His emotional and mental state like he said, gets better with the people he surrounds himself with because they believe in him. His physical wellbeing, although at first doesn't look good but obviously he is a very strong young boy. And his social wellbeing must also be strong to, he said that he wanted to be an embassador to help the other people that are sick just like him.

# data[].attributes.body
First off, this story was moving. Although his physical well-being isn't top notch, his mental and emotional well-being is right up there. A 14 year old shouldn't have to go through what he does but his attitude towards everything else is amazing. He has such a good attitude towards life despite his condition. His passion for hockey is strong and he's got the determination and drive to actually play a sport. We take most things for granted without even giving a thought about what someone else is going through. This is also a good reminder that if this boy can survive and go through the painful process that he does, we can handle a little bit of pain in our lives once in a while.

# data[].attributes.body
This is just amazing. I think that his mental wellbeing is incredible and he is positive about everything that he encounters. That pain in his eyes wasn't something that can be faked so he also has good physical wellbeing in the aspect that he has a high pain tolerance. I cant get over the fact that he is 14 but has the maturity of an adult, even most adults would struggle in that situation. This made my big struggles seem silly and irrelevant.

# data[].attributes.body
This boy is probably the strongest one I can think of.

The question I'm asking is, how is his well-being don't focus on the negative only on the positive

This story is very graphic

Reasons for me, why I think the use of contraception is so low, is the knowledge around the whole concept for teenagers, the article states that 10-30% of 15 year old's are likely to have sex, that's extremely young, these teenagers still don't know the full consequences around the whole thing, this is why the rate of teen pregnancy is so high in New Zealand. Teenagers don't know about contraception! They don't know why its advised when being sexually active they don't know about it, this is why this should be discussed more often, so when push comes to shove they know about it, and this wont be so daunting for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the number is so low for using contraception because young teenagers aren't fully aware of the consequences and don't have enough knowledge to fully understand the health risk.Also they might be to embarrassed to talk to their parents or just anyone,as this is because contraception are publicly available and not comfortable enough to talk about it they might think that it wont happen to them or have a every low chance of it to happen to them .

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion I think it is not okay for someone who is younger than 15 to be sexually active. Having sex with someone is your choice but someone under the age of 15 probably have no idea about all the risks and everything that can happen after sex. People who are as young as 12 going out smoking, drinking and doing drugs makes me wonder if the parents know about what they are doing or teaching these kids. what 12 year-old knows about this because when I was 12 I was worrying about what barbie I was going to play with not what drugs i was going to take next. Why do young people commit suicide? what person at the age of 15 wants to give up on life and kill themselves? I guess there are just some bad people out there. Accidents do happen yeah but sometimes they just get so out of hand and end in death. It seems that car crashes are a big reason for death. Even though 15 is underage for just about everything I think that's an okay age to start drinking but smoking no. In my opinion I dont think smokings good for anyone there are just so many health risks and everything.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they get caught up in the moment and don't really notice that they are wearing contraception Or they just dont care!!!!

My opinion of why the number of teenagers who use contraception is so low is because that nowadays teens are starting to have sex younger & don't want other people to know they're sexually active - because that's how a lot of bullying and shaming happens; so that's why they don't HAVE any contraception to use because they're so publicly available. Or maybe people are too trusting and are willing to take the risk without really considering the consequences of 'what if'. OR MAYBE perhaps people aren't as worried because they can get free health check-ups and don't think it's such a big deal AND because like the lesson on Tuesday or something; you now have the option to check yourself for STI's without anyone really finding out.

# data[].attributes.body
The possible reason behind why it is lower, is because they mightn't have been taught about how dangerous sexual intercourse can be - it isn't all fun and carefree as media represents it to be, it is in fact much more serious, life-changing, and even deadly than what the younger people taking part in sexual intercourse might think it is. Though by the time people begin puberty, they do learn vaguely about contraception and protection against STI's, but if they still continue to take part in sex, was the teaching about sexual and impregnation protection vast and explained enough for them to understand just how crucial it is for them, their partner and their future?

# data[].attributes.body
i think the number is so low because mostly teens won't think they would get it. Also if you go out and have a few drinks you're not fully aware of what you're doing so it would mostly just slip your mind. Because most teens are having sex earlier nowadays, some would be to embarassed to talk to their parents about it, maybe you're getting pressured into not using it. I think most teens would just use contraceptive against pregnancy but are not fully aware of STIs and may not have a lot of knowledge around that area.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the number is so because young teens usually go out places & most of time when they get drunk thats when these things happen & because parties & things like that are so common for teens now, thats where all the sexual activities are happening & they arent really going to think about contraception at the time. Also, things like the jab or getting the pill, some girls may feel not as confident to talk to their parents about it or ask to get on it because some parents have different reactions towards this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the number of contraception is low because young teenagers don't think they will need any contraception or just cant be bothered using anything to prevent them from becoming pregnant or getting stis, i think that its important to use contraception specially in teens because we are so fertile at our age.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the number of teenage contraception usage is low because they think that they don't need protection against STI's or they won't get pregnant. Or they don't like using contraception because of the hassle of being timely with pills, getting injections or whatever other method of contraception.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion youth of to day is more aware of what's happening and what sex is. We learn it in class we see it in the community and we see it on social media. So I can't think why it is so low but I know that people are "doing it" at such a young age.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the number of young people who use contraception is so low because, although they are probably warned about STI's and pregnancies, they want to try it without using contraception. This may be because they think it won't happen to them or when they do decide to do it, they aren't thinking about the consequences for not using contraception.

# data[].attributes.body
Read this article about Sexual Activity, they have made a statement about what percentage of young people use contraception. Why do you think this number is so low?

Births to teenage mothers declined after the early 1970s, though picked up slightly in the early 2000s. However, the number of induced teenage abortions increased and teenage pregnancy rates correspondingly increased after 1980. By 2003 there was one abortion for every teenage birth.

Everyone's perception on sexuality is different than your own, So personally strand A covers what I believe to be "Sexuality", strand A covers personal growth and development, which I think is an important key to knowing your own sexuality, growing up and maturing and being aware of your body, and yourself most importantly.

But two of the main reasons I believe strand A covers "Sexuality" is because of the factors shown in Strand A "Safety and Risk Management" & "Personal Identity and Self Worth" these factors cover being safe, for example drug use, sexual activity, pregnancy, but overall feeling and being safe to prevent these things, as well as Personal Identity and Self Worth cover individuality, being happy with who you are no matter your religion, race, gender, age etc etc, this is why I chose strand A, this covers YOUR sexuality and yourself, not your sexual activity, but who you are.

# data[].attributes.body
Looking at the achievement levels I think sexuality comes under strand c-relationships with others because your learning your sexual identity and others as this is important impact for life, also recongnising not only yours , but others sensitivity,as this effects the type of relationship you are involved in, respecting each others beliefs or decisions  for who they are and in general,all of theses aspects all relate to sexuality if its interpersonal or personal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sexuality is based around each and everyone strand, I think that strand A is very important because it talks about personal growth and development which is important at any age but mostly the age where you are growing up in your teenage years when things start to change and you start experiencing different things. Also when u get older your behavior and attitude changes, i think its important to know this when you hit a certain age in your teen years.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sexuality comes under strand A because it talks about personal growth and development and that is very important to every one at the age we are because everybody is experiencing changes and different feelings and it is very important that they need to know what is happening

# data[].attributes.body
First and foremost I think that sexuality definitely is based around all of these strands. For example, Strand A said on the sub-heading 4. Personal Identity and Self-worth, it talks about your sexuality and personal identity which I believe is how people perceive or how you perceive yourself to others. Under the heading talking about your personal growth & development could also be apart of your sexuality because it talks about the choices you make which have an impact on your well-being.

# data[].attributes.body
I think C because it's important to know about relationships and how to interact with other people. You're not only talking about yourself it can be your friends, family, partners in the near future and everyone around you. Finding out your sexual identity and who you are is also the most important factor in life.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the current unit we are doing falls under A, C and D. Under A, for this unit is teaching us about us, how our body works (how we can protect it, and keep it at the best condition we can), and how we, ourselves, work, by learning in depth about sexuality, and possibly learning more about ourselves. Under C, as we also need to consider how we interact with others and how those interactions, being physical and mental/emotional, can effect them, their 4 walls of well-being, and sometimes even their sexuality.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sexuality comes under strand C because to me, sexuality has to do with not only you, but who you have relationships with. Having these interpersonal relationships can change your aspect of sexuality and can even change how you identify your sexuality.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that sexuality comes under Strand C because it's not all about you, it's about the person(s) you're demonstrating this with. It's about communication and morals etc. But to me most of all it's about growth and learning because you do learn new things about your sexuality as you grow older which you either learn personally or interpersonally.

# data[].attributes.body
To me I think that relationships with other people would be something that you should talk about in classes because its important to know what you would be comfortable with when you and your panther are starting to push boundaries. Another reason why they should talk about relationships in class rooms is because people might not understand what a relationship is. They might only see what the media portrays. Healthy Communities and Environments is another one that should be talk more about in class, because they should be tough to be themselves and to believe in what they think is right and not pushing any relation to cultural beliefs onto the child. They should also be learning whats healthy for them and learning how to set goals. Everything else I think is important but not as important as relationships with others or healthy communities and environments.

# data[].attributes.body
I think all these strands are as important as each other but for me the most important one would be C, because you are talking about relationships which is learning about not only you but also other people. That could be friends, family, boyfriends/girlfriends, teachers etc, learning about other people which is so important! Also identity, sensitivity and respect which is identifying yourself as a person, your sexual identity. respecting everyone and their choices, open to everyone and always open minded. This is identifying yourself as a person

# data[].attributes.body
First and foremost I think that sexuality definitely is based around all of these strands. For example, Strand A said on the sub-heading 4. Personal Identity and Self-worth, it talks about your sexuality and personal identity which I believe is how people perceive or how you perceive yourself to others. Under the heading talking about your personal growth & development could also be apart of your sexuality because it talks about the choices you make which have an impact on your well-being. Also looking at Strand C, it talks about your Identity, sensitivity and respect which I believe refer to sexuality as a pose of who you are (identity) and also talking about respecting others, which you could say is respecting peoples identity and who they are as a person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think strand C because its all about relationships whether that's sexually or not. Also the tittle Identity, sensitivity and respect all come under the topic sexuality because there are things like sexual identity, sexual orientation etc.. sexual behaviour also comes under inter-relationships, one of the other tittles, because it involves having a relationship with someone

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sexuality comes under strand A. I think this because sexuality is about Personal Health and Physical Development. Your personal growth and development contribute towards this because as you grow up, you need to pay more attention to your personal health yourself rather than relying on someone else. Your Physical Development also contributes to this as your physical appearance does change as you grow. You will also learn to understand your own Self Worth and Personal Identity to work out who you are and understand yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that sexuality comes under strand C ,because looking at the three headings they are all relevant to sexuality. E.g: interpersonal skills is all about how you get on with other people .A persons sexuality can effect the type of relatinships the have in and outside of school.Identity ,sensitivity and respect identity is all about who you are ,sensitivity is like how you treat others and this can be because of there sexuality. Respect other peoples differences and this includes there sexuality.

Attached are the achievement objectives for Level 6 (Yr 11) Health from the curriculum. Thinking about the new unit we are starting this week, which strand do you believe Sexuality comes under and why?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You are here:

﻿Strand A - Personal Health and Physical Development

1. Personal Growth and Development

Students will investigate and understand reasons for the choices people make that affect their well-being and explore and evaluate options and consequences, for example, in relation to nutritional needs, sexual activities, ill-health, recreation and sporting activities, the influences of certain attitudes and behaviours on people, depression, drug use, time management, and stress management.

2. Regular Physical Activity

Students will choose, implement, and maintain an appropriate physical activity programme that enhances their well-being, taking into account such factors as their personal recreational and sporting preferences and opportunities, their body's response to exercise, their lifestyle choices, and the need to set appropriate goals.

3. Safety and Risk Management

Students will distinguish between real and perceived risks in physical and social environments and develop skills for appropriate action, for example, in relation to speaking out, drug use, food choices, drinking and driving, sexual activity, pregnancy, emergency procedures, preventing injury, and safety procedures in sport and outdoor activity.

4. Personal Identity and Self-worth

Students will demonstrate an understanding of factors that contribute to personal identity and will celebrate individuality and affirm diversity, for example, in relation to gender, culture, whanau, whakapapa, religion, sexuality, age, abilities, state of health, friendships, achievements, and personal beliefs, attitudes, and feelings.

Strand B - Movement Concepts and Motor Skills

1. Movement Skills

Students will acquire, apply, and refine specialised motor skills by using the principles of motor skill learning, for example, in relation to specific game skills, te reo kori activities, whole and part learning, selective attention, practice, fatigue, and recovery.

2. Positive Attitudes and Challenge

Students will acquire, apply, and refine skills, and demonstrate responsible attitudes, in challenging physical situations, for example, when involved in trampolining, contemporary dance, gymnastics, campcraft, or bushcraft, or developing the skills of officiating, coaching, participating, and administrating at sports events.

3. Science and Technology

Students will apply scientific and technological knowledge and resources to enhance physical abilities in a range of environments, for example, in relation to anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, exercycles, ergonomics, the design of specific gear, and video cameras.

4. Social and Cultural Factors

Students will demonstrate understanding and affirmation of people's diverse social and cultural needs and practices when participating in physical activity, for example, in relation to culture, gender, chronic illness, injury, specific needs, competition, and clothing.

Strand C - Relationships with Other People

1. Relationships

Students will demonstrate an understanding of how individuals and groups affect relationships by influencing people's behaviour, beliefs, decisions, and sense of self-worth, for example, through power imbalances, peer pressure, popular culture, whanau, religious groups, advertising, leadership, fellowship, and teamwork.

2. Identity, Sensitivity, and Respect

Students will plan and evaluate strategies recognising their own and other people's rights and responsibilities to avoid or minimise risks in social situations, for example, situations involving drinking and driving, rape, outdoor pursuits, harassment, the use of drugs, discrimination, sports activities, and sexual activity.

3. Interpersonal Skills

Students will plan strategies and demonstrate interpersonal skills to respond to challenging situations appropriately, for example, when responding to other people's physical and emotional needs, working with students with specific needs, implementing team strategies, or planning an outdoor activity.

Strand D - Healthy Communities and Environments

1. Societal Attitudes and Beliefs

Students will analyse societal influences that shape community health goals and physical activity patterns, for example, in relation to cultural practices, socio-economic factors, gender roles and stereotypes, media images, the physically active population, drinking and driving, smoke-free environments, food choices and national nutritional guidelines, immunisation, breast screening, tolerance of difference, drugs, and pregnancy.

2. Community Resources

Students will evaluate school and community initiatives that promote young people's health, safety, recreational activities, and sports and develop an action plan to instigate or support these, for example, in relation to smoke-free environments, recycling, Heartbeat and Fair Play awards, recreational clubs, officiating and coaching, support for people with specific needs, and peer support.

3. Rights, Responsibilities, and Laws

Students will compare and contrast personal values and practices with policies, rules, and laws and investigate how the latter contribute to safety in the school and community, for example, when considering harassment policies, mediation procedures, vandalism, care of the outdoors, policies on communicable diseases, sports policies, and the Privacy Act.

4. People and the Environment

Students will investigate the roles and the effectiveness of local, national, and international organisations that promote well-being and environmental safety, for example, organisations for sport and recreation, health, safety, and human rights.

I think that health education is an important subject at very school,it doesn't matter how old you are because it will also help you mentally and physically .Helping you think positively and is an great aspect to know for the future. Health education is a subject that provides you the knowledge ,for a healthy development for your body and mind

Personally, health studies is an important part of a child's learning, no matter how old a kid may be, as long as they understand the concept around things they need to know, and old enough to understand I agree with the teaching within primary schools is a key to a child's development within themselfs, some may disagree to the fact that this may be too young, but I can see why they need to be taught these things, obviously at a age when they can understand and learn around.

After finishing this article, I think it is quite disappointing to discover that youth in their fourth year at school are not taught health as its own separate subject – their health is what controls how they act, how they think, how they live, and I understand that some people may think, ‘oh, they’re just kids, they probably won’t understand’, but you do realise children of that age are more accepting to different ways of thinking than those in the age group of year eight and up – if we teach them how to look after themselves now, imagine the possible outcome it could have, and how positive the impact could be on their future.

i honestly think after i had read this article i think that teaching health in school is a great idea because the students need to now new things and life skills for there future life ahead of them also health is a enjoyable class to take.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading this article, i feel that all schools sould have health classes so teens and children can learn more about there body, witch means theyll have a better understanding of there boddies

# data[].attributes.body
After reading this, I feel that all schools should have a health class or someone who talks to them about it

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important for all children to have a basic understanding of health and how everything is with your body. There are always new things to learn so health through all ages of school is very important. Health is also an enjoyable class so im not going to complain about it.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading this article I think that it is important that All schools should have a health class

# data[].attributes.body
after reading this article I think it is important to have a class that teaches health, even through primary, to help us know more about the things you don't get taught in other classes or maybe at home. To learn about yourself and your body and know you're not alone, and to be aware or other people and identifying feelings in depth.

# data[].attributes.body
I think every school (primary through to high school) should have a health related subject. It'll teach people at a young age what health is, how it has an impact on them and it'll give them a better idea as they grow up. Having a clear knowledge of health as we get older will help us understand our body, personal well-being, etc. and that's an important part of life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Health Education is a good subject to be taught at all ages, whether it'd be young or old. I think it is important to know about your health & your body as you are growing because it'll give you a clear idea on what is happening around you & to you. Learning abit about it before heading to college is good to have a clear understanding of what you may learn about in the future & its good to get the knowledge earlier especially if it will help you with your career pathway.

# data[].attributes.body
Health education should definitely (if not already) be taught to primary schoolers, because even though they are young, they should be aware of what they're doing and how it effects them- but they should only learn the topics that they are in need of knowledge now, not information that they don't understand/haven't experienced yet. And then as they grow older they learn things with more depth and then growing to understand it greatly. And I think it's good that they're theory and practical lessons as well

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is very important to teach students about health because it effects everyone, personally I think that it should be compulsory to all college students because it is a time when your body goes through big changes and they need to be told what's happening.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that health education is important for any age group, to be honest i would have enjoyed being taught younger about health education so i would have a better understanding. I think learning about health education would make a big impact on your life growing up.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people should be learning about this stuff kinda young but before they go to college! because at college everyone knows what everything is and knows about that stuff. i was one of the few people who didn't know anything health education witch sucked cause everyone would talk about it and I wouldn't know a thing so it was hard to relate.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that learning health education is a very important aspect. Personally I would of loved to be taught this at a younger age so that now, in this day and age I would have better knowledge as I grew up, and growing on info when we are learning it. Being taught on this subject is a great idea beacuse it makes a big impact on they way you grow up.

# data[].attributes.body
to be honest I would have loved to be taught all this stuff when I was younger. I think that this particular topic should be talked about more with younger kids because it could make a big impact on them when they grow up

# data[].attributes.body
In today's society it is important to know all about health education because I know I would of loved to be taught that when I was younger. It is important for children especially so that they will grow up having more knowledge about the world around them. This one is for the smart goal: I think personally having a smart goal will help you achieve more in your life time. It helps with time management, it's achievable, specific, etc.. so it's a great guide to have and help ya achieve your goal.

After reading this article, I feel that teaching all aspects of health education is important. I think this is important because it teaches children of all different ages within the schools the aspects of health education and the importance of them all. This kind of education will help them in the future, whether it's for a future career, just to inform them of how to live well and healthy, enhance their well-being or just so they know how to look after themselves depending on their situation.

Read the attached article, what do you think about it? Explain your thoughts around Health education in schools.

my smart goal is to get my fitness up for the start of the soccer season and to get my body fitter and stronger also i think to have a smart goal you have to be welling to do it right tell the end.

# data[].attributes.body
In a sense, I agree with what this article is saying, but I also feel that deadlines are the most important part of any goal - as someone who procrastinates like there is no tomorrow, I find the deadline the most important part of my journey, and will find any way I can to meet any task at whatever time has been set for it, even if I decide to take action in the last minute. What I'm trying to say is, is that the timeframe motivates me to finish my goal on time, because if I have free-reins on my goal and can sculpt it around me, I'd probably end up not doing it. Though with the goal I have set, being a time-based goal, meeting it can be a bit harder - when procrastination gets in the way, all tasks are put on delay. And since I have to control time, as someone who normally let's time run around their ankles, my goal is naturally a bit harder for me to complete, but I have this in mind at all times and hope to control my time-wasting habits, and hopefully with this intention, I will be able to complete the goal I have set for myself.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't quite get it but this is what I thort.

Goals are a thug to be a guide to complete something and a time of date is good but what if you have committed to some things and it stops you from doing your goal so what I get from this is time is good but it's a guide line
