Under Section 60B of the Education Act 1989 (as amended in 2001), Boards of Trustees are required to produce a written statement about how the school will implement health education, inform the school community about the content of the health education components of the curriculum and consult with members of the school community regarding the way in which the school should implement health education. The process of this consultation requires information on the proposed health education programme being presented to the school community, providing an opportunity for the school community to comment, then comments being considered before confirming the health education programme.
Health and Physical Education in the New Zealand Curriculum Health and Physical education is one of the eight essential learning areas of The New Zealand Curriculum. Furthermore, it is a compulsory subject until the end of year ten.
