Over the past 5 weeks in Health and Physical Education, the students have been focusing on Healthy Choices and what the benefits are of making these healthy choices. The Healthy Choices topic is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed decisions that promote their overall well-being. This topic emphasizes the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and social health, and encourages individuals to adopt behaviours that enhance long-term health outcomes. The main goal of the Healthy Choices topic is to empower students to take responsibility for their health and lifestyle, making choices that improve their quality of life and reduce the risk of preventable diseases.

During the last 5 weeks we have focused mainly on healthy food choices, exercise, healthy sleep and personal hygiene. Students learned about the importance of balanced diets, the role of nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals), and how to make informed food choices. They explored how physical activity contributes to mental, emotional, and physical health. The Healthy Choices topic provides individuals with the tools to make informed decisions that positively impact their lives. By focusing on key areas such as nutrition, physical activity and sleep, this subject lays the foundation for students to lead balanced, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
