Health Consultation 2015

It is a Ministry of Education requirement that schools consult with their communities every two years on their Health programmes.  Health education is split into four areas – food and nutrition, body care and physical safety, mental health and sexuality education.

Of these four health areas sexuality education is the area that is most contentious and which has a level of confusion around it. It is important to note that sexuality education is very different to sex education.  To help with this confusion we have attached a sexuality pamphlet with this questionnaire.

Below are the topics we currently cover at Banks Avenue School as part of our Health programme:

Mental Health
Me, family and friends  
Grief, loss and change 
Stop, think, do 
Keeping ourselves safe
Body Care and Physical Safety
Body needs  S
Staying healthy
Hazards –cycle safety
Hazards -water safety and resuscitation 
Kia kaha 
a bully free zone
Body image
Mind up – developing a positive mind-set 
Food and Nutrition   
Healthy eating
Food and cultural significance
Choice food
Sexuality Education    
Everybody is special
I am growing:  Growing and changing
Making and keeping friends
Celebrating difference
Pubertal change (year 5/ 6)
The Sexuality Road ( family planning resource)
Banks Avenue is also a health promoting school which involves a number initiatives working with a health advisor, e.g. our pumpkin challenge. In 2014 we established a student well-being team who meet regularly. 

To help us further develop our programmes we ask that you complete this survey by Friday September 4.
