“The world would have us believe that winning or success is measured by points on a scoreboard or by dollar signs. The Christian realises that winning or success is determined by whether or not a goal has been achieved, and that goal is to bring glory to God.” Thomas M. Boqdon
OVERVIEW
Students will study two focus areas including common diseases in Australia and health promotion. They will investigate the prevalence and impact of various conditions on the burden of disease within Australia and how these can impact them personally by examining the National Health Priority Areas (NHPAs). Students will analyse the impact attitudes and beliefs about diversity have on community connection and wellbeing. They will evaluate the outcomes of emotional responses to different situations. Furthermore, they will explore global health issues and develop an understanding of the impact these issues have on health status. Students will explore this concept from a Christian worldview looking specifically at ways in which they can be agents of change in society.

ASSESSMENT
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
