Why? We want our learners to enjoy leading a healthy, active lifestyle and become role models for their peers, family, local community and beyond. Through a deeper understanding of the lifelong benefits of making positive lifestyle and nutrition choices, our learners will also be role models for the next generation. We are striving to ensure that every Ysgol Eirias learner is a healthy, responsible and compassionate individual who has the confidence and resilience to strive to achieve their full potential.
What? Our learners will acquire knowledge from a wide range of experiences to enable them to understand the importance of their physical, mental and social wellbeing on their present and future lives. Learners will be central to the promotion of positive wellbeing for all Ysgol Eirias stakeholders and will develop and appreciate the significance of key personal attributes such as self-confidence, teamwork, communication, leadership and empathy. Our learners will develop to be adaptable and resilient, able to overcome challenging situations and make the right choices to thrive through their school lives and beyond.
How? Learners will be inspired to engage in a diverse variety of lessons in both indoor and outdoor environments. Our learners will be challenged to acquire, develop and refine their knowledge, understanding and practical skills from engaging in health-based physical activities, practical nutrition lessons, classroom-based pastoral lessons and traditional individual and team sports using our fantastic facilities and local environment. Extra-curricular opportunities will be provided for learners to further develop their interest, knowledge and ability to prepare and cook nutritious meals; in many sports and activities learners can further challenge themselves and advance their skillset. There are local community club links provided for additional involvement and development. Learners will be exposed to practical and theoretical decision-making situations where the consequences of their actions will impact upon either sporting performance or their life choices.
The Experience: In the Health and Wellbeing AoLE you will experience a wide range of practical and theoretical activities in a variety of environments ranging from food and nutrition workshops to Colwyn Bay beach. All lessons will have a strong focus about an aspect of your health and wellbeing, not only for the present but for your time as a member of the Eirias community and beyond to ensure that our learners become health, confident and responsible members of society.
