Right, well, like i said at the start of the year - I'm new to this blogging thing so this site is definitely a work in progress! I've been making separate blogs for each area I work in, but when I sat down to create my 4th one to support the junior PE clusters, I thought there must be a better way!
So...here it is...the all new health and PE blog for our region! Now, I'm going to apologise right now for those of you who will be cursing under your breath because I've changed the web address again for this site. I just thought it fair that the URL reflects both Health and PE. This is the third and FINAL time I will do this to you people...I promise!
This site focuses on health and physical education at years nine and ten primarily. If you are looking for support with NCEA, follow the links below. For Advisory support with NCEA, please contact Kristin McGill for health education or Jill Sherburn for physical education. Our contact details are in the left-hand column of this site.
Happy Blogging!
Kristin

HEALTH EDUCATION
This section provides links and resources for health education. The sites listed are intended to be an 'idea bank' for you to use when developing your programmes. Resources are organised under possible contexts, however, this is not intended to imply a topic-driven programme. Health programmes should be needs based, holistic, and have clear links to the underlying concepts of our HPE curriculum. Please be critical consumers when using this material as some of it is international and might not necessarily reflect our NZ curriculum. Click on the links below to connect to the relevant websites.

I've tried to place resources under the headings 'in, through and about', however there is obviously going to be some crossover between areas.
