About the Department
Learning through Health and Wellbeing promotes confidence, independent thinking and positive attitudes. It ensures that young people develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, capabilities and attitudes which they need for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing now and in the future.
We aim to assist our young people to develop the following qualities:
· Self confidence and self esteem
· Positive attitudes
· Respect and caring for others
· Tolerance
· Confidence in adapting to change and increasing taking responsibility for their own lives
