A healthy crowd jammed the hall today for the start of the week-long Health Expo held by Year 12 Health students.
The students are working towards an achievement standard, which is a health promotion assignment.
Students have had to identify a health issue in the MAGS community, research the topic, develop resources, present their expo and then evaluate the effectiveness of it. This is giving students first-hand experience of how health promotion works.
Some of the health issues covered this year are: how to cope with academic stress, how to report cyber bullying, nutritional support (e.g. reading labels), how to cope with stress, self-esteem and self-expression, peer pressure, bullying, and body image.
