Health Consultation Survey 2017

It is a Ministry of Education requirement that schools consult with their communities every two years on their Health Curriculum.  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 strand that is most contentious and the strand  which has a degree of confusion around it. It is important to realise that sexuality education is very different to sex education.  Here is a link to a web page  with key facts about sexuality education: https://parents.education.govt.nz/primary-school/learning-at-school/sexuality-education/

At primary school under the umbrella of sexuality education children are likely to learn about: friendships, different kinds of families, respect for each other, pubertal change and body development and body image.

Below are the topics we currently cover at Banks Avenue School as part of our Health Curriculum:
  • Mental Health:    Me, Family and Friends:  Grief, Loss and Change: Stop, Think, Do: Keeping Ourselves Safe:
  • Kia Kaha - A bully free zone: Body Image: Mind up – developing a positive mindset: Learning to Learn
  • Body Care and Physical Safety:  Body Needs: Staying Healthy: Hazards –cycle safety: Hazards – water safety and resuscitation: Healthy Heroes
  • Food and Nutrition:   Healthy Eating: Food and Culture: 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: currently we are  working toward being a Sunsmart Accredited school.  

To help us further develop our programmes we ask that you complete the survey below by Wednesday  April 12.
