2022 Barbreck Health Lessons

16 December 2022

2022 was the first year all Health lessons were face-to-face instead of being online.

This allowed for more fluid conversations and discussions. Many students were able to reflect and share their feelings on the impact COVID lockdowns had on their wellbeing and mental health.

Prep students showed great enjoyment in discovering so much about themselves, including being active, looking at their growth and changes, and how to keep themselves safe.

Some of the highlights in Health this year included being able to work collaboratively with a classmate to research and present in front of their class. The Year 5 girls in particular looked at ways we celebrate and value diversity. This also allowed them to look at
whether this has always been the case and if not, how are things now changing.

Recognising and exploring safety and emotions are always fun topics to delve into in Health. There is a video all students love to watch, The ABC’s of Safety. It is an animated video spelling out how to always be alert and have a plan for keeping yourself safe.

Our dedicated Health classroom allows students to be able to look at books and posters on our various Health topics, as well as feel they can ask questions and share stories in a trusting environment.
