AOI: Health and Social Education

Our AOI focus will be Health and Social Education (concerned with the well-being of yourself and others)
How do I think and act?  How am I changing?  How can I look after myself and others?

According to the IBO:
This area of interactioin is about how humanity is affected by a range of social issues.  It is concerned with physical, social and emotional health and intelligence - key aspects of development leading to a complete and balanced lifestyle.

Health and social education goes beyond the sole provision of information and acquisition of knowledge, and encourages the development of critical-thinking skills and attitudes that play in important role when making decisions and confronting life options.  H&SE encourages respect for the self as well as respect for others.  This enables students to understand how personal decisions and actions can affect themselves as well as others.

Ourselves in the Wider Society - Behaviour and ethics
Analyse ethical and social issues and independently make personal and sustainable choices.

Ourselves and Others - Personal values and takeing responsibilities
Evaluate the consequences of your choices and investigate alternative pathways.  Exhibit and reflect upon the accountability for your decisions and actions.
