Community Health Consultation
Health Education & Physical Education
At Kamo High School, Health Education and Physical Education (HPE) are integrated. Through learning in HPE contexts, students will develop skills to become physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy. HPE is compulsory for Years 9 and 10 and is an optional NCEA subject in the senior school, aligning with the Health and Physical Education learning area of the New Zealand Curriculum. Students will learn and apply their understanding around the seven key areas of learning: Mental health, sexuality education, nutrition, body care and physical safety, physical activity, sport studies, and outdoor education.
The four underlying concepts that will be woven through all teaching are Hauora, socio-ecological perspectives, health promotion and attitudes and values. Learning in HPE will also provide opportunities for students to develop the key competencies of The New Zealand Curriculum (for example thinking critically, participating and contributing and relating to others) and reflects the values and vision of The New Zealand Curriculum as well as those of Kamo High School.
Please take the time to complete the attached Google Form to support the school to ensure we deliver an HPE curriculum that meets the needs of your students. If you have any questions, or would like further information, there is the option to complete the Form in the School Library on Wednesday 21 February from 3.30pm-6.30 pm during the new student Whānau teacher conferences.
If you are unable to attend this time or have questions, please feel free to contact Sean Henwood (Leader of Learning HPE) at sean.henwood@kamohigh.school.nz
