Health Studies

General
The Health Studies General course allows students to explore health as a dynamic quality of life. They will consider the way in which beliefs and attitudes influence health decisions and learn how to plan and take action that will promote their own and the health of others.  

They examine the impact of social and environmental factors on health and use inquiry skills to investigate and respond to relevant issues. The course also provides students with opportunities to develop skills that will enable them to pursue careers in health promotion, research, or community health care. 

Some of the topics that are covered are: 

  • Holistic health 
  • Consumer health 
  • Social and cultural norms
