00:06:16
all right
00:06:17
we might make a start um
00:06:21
and get into it so um my name's ryan
00:06:24
dorr i have
00:06:25
taught health at the college for about
00:06:27
what
00:06:28
it's like seven years so um i've often
00:06:31
not necessarily taught the year 10
00:06:32
students but more the year 11's
00:06:35
and even the acu course which is run in
00:06:37
the past in the third year so
00:06:40
please let me know if anything's not
00:06:41
working technology-wise because
00:06:44
yeah we all know how it is and how it
00:06:45
can go we've seen this year it can
00:06:47
sometimes be quite a struggle um and if
00:06:49
you have any questions please feel free
00:06:50
to put them in the chat
00:06:51
and i'll get to them um probably at the
00:06:54
end of the presentation so
00:06:56
um with that said i'm going to share my
00:07:00
screen with you i've got a powerpoint um
00:07:02
and i'll and i'll speak to all that i'm
00:07:03
hoping it probably goes for about 15 and
00:07:05
20 minutes and yeah
00:07:06
please feel free to put any questions in
00:07:08
the chat there or you can just ask at
00:07:10
the end if you like
00:07:24
um i should have changed this actually
00:07:25
i've copied the psychology one it should
00:07:27
change it should say healthier
00:07:28
i've changed the top but not the middle
00:07:29
but um obviously next year as
00:07:32
year 10 students they'll do vce health
00:07:35
and human development units one and two
00:07:37
and when they're in year 11 they'll move
00:07:39
to vc
00:07:40
in health and human development units
00:07:41
three and four and then in year 12
00:07:43
there's
00:07:44
two options available now it's kind of
00:07:45
in a state of transition at the moment
00:07:47
and i'll kind of get to that
00:07:48
um very shortly um and
00:07:52
by the time you know your son or
00:07:54
daughter is in year 12
00:07:56
um we'll probably we'll obviously have a
00:07:58
lot more details it's kind of just in
00:08:00
the process of changing our partnership
00:08:02
we had with
00:08:02
acu at the moment um
00:08:06
the options there um which is this is
00:08:08
for the third year once
00:08:09
your son and daughter is in year 12
00:08:11
which um
00:08:13
will be quite you know there's a couple
00:08:14
of years away still so not you know
00:08:16
it's not a big urgency but there are two
00:08:19
options at present so
00:08:21
currently there's um the university step
00:08:23
up program
00:08:24
has a bachelor degree level units which
00:08:28
completed through a tertiary provider
00:08:31
it is a chance for the students to
00:08:33
experience university life by studying
00:08:35
two first-year units while completing
00:08:36
their vce
00:08:38
[Music]
00:08:39
in the past as i said it's been done
00:08:40
with acu and i taught that this year
00:08:43
um and um those
00:08:47
students you know there's quite a few
00:08:48
there's a couple of benefits for them
00:08:50
they you know they learn how to write
00:08:52
um essays which they'll be required to
00:08:54
at uni and proper referencing
00:08:57
we went to the university in semester
00:08:59
one at the start of the year before
00:09:01
um everything kind of shut down which
00:09:02
was good for them to actually see what
00:09:04
it's like
00:09:06
um they also got those two units hex
00:09:09
free
00:09:09
um which is you know saves them a couple
00:09:11
of thousand dollars and particularly if
00:09:13
they do go to work in a healthcare in
00:09:14
the future
00:09:15
quite often those units actually end up
00:09:18
um
00:09:18
counting as credits for other things so
00:09:20
i've i know i've had students in the
00:09:22
past too
00:09:23
um for example one was a speech
00:09:25
pathologist and i was studying speech
00:09:27
pathology and i saw him while he was at
00:09:28
uni and
00:09:29
he got out of doing you know certain
00:09:31
other units at la trobe even though it
00:09:34
was an acu
00:09:34
unit he completed um which was good he
00:09:38
kind of moves ahead and he can pick up
00:09:39
something else
00:09:40
um a bit ahead of time when he's at uni
00:09:44
um and you know the students do like it
00:09:46
so as i said it's kind of changing at
00:09:48
the moment
00:09:48
um and they are we are still offering
00:09:52
um courses and we might be through
00:09:54
different providers we're unsure yet but
00:09:57
um it does kind of give you give a bit
00:09:59
of an insight into how university works
00:10:02
kind of pathways um you know that might
00:10:06
provide
00:10:06
okay before they've finally actually
00:10:08
chosen one and headed off to uni
00:10:10
and it does give yeah it does give them
00:10:12
a bit of a chance as i said
00:10:13
work on those university skills um and
00:10:16
it kind of does probably help them
00:10:17
transition to
00:10:19
to uni a little bit quicker and the
00:10:22
second option for year 12 if you don't
00:10:24
want to do
00:10:25
the um university pathway
00:10:28
is to pick up a new unit 3 and 4 when
00:10:30
you're in
00:10:31
year twelve so um due to doing one early
00:10:34
that means there's one that it's going
00:10:36
to be a spare unit because that you are
00:10:38
no longer
00:10:38
you've done health and human development
00:10:41
you then have an option to pick up
00:10:42
something else
00:10:43
um you won't have completed units one
00:10:45
and two and we'll instead go straight
00:10:47
into units three and four which we're
00:10:48
assuming your
00:10:49
people will be more than capable
00:10:50
students will be more than capable of
00:10:51
doing given the fact they're already
00:10:53
you know um i guess being advanced and
00:10:56
in kind of an
00:10:57
um program which suggests that they've
00:11:00
got the skills to do so
00:11:01
and by doing six unit three four
00:11:04
subjects in total
00:11:05
students receive an additional 10
00:11:07
increment towards their atar
00:11:09
at the end of year 12.
00:11:12
most vce subjects do not require
00:11:14
students to have completed units one and
00:11:15
two
00:11:16
to be able to enroll in units three and
00:11:18
four so there is a bit of an advantage
00:11:20
if they do choose this route
00:11:21
and they do get a little bit of an
00:11:24
addition to their atar
00:11:25
in the end and your top four subjects
00:11:28
count for your atar this is without me
00:11:29
going to everything about the atar
00:11:31
your top four subjects count english has
00:11:33
to be one of them
00:11:35
and you do i guess have more potential
00:11:38
top four subjects if you do complete six
00:11:40
you know 3-4 subjects because with 50
00:11:42
of your marks being determined by the
00:11:45
end of your exam in year 12 which the
00:11:47
students are currently sitting through
00:11:48
at the moment at our college
00:11:50
um you know quite a lot can change you
00:11:52
know
00:11:54
in terms of what students think they
00:11:55
might do well at and and
00:11:57
in the end i guess the more the better
00:11:59
and the better scores
00:12:00
the better atar they will receive for
00:12:03
next year
00:12:04
the structure of the classes um
00:12:08
that wednesdays from 1 50
00:12:12
to 5 20 um
00:12:15
the class will run which is a bit
00:12:17
different to how it's done
00:12:18
previously and i yeah i wasn't really
00:12:21
aware of this usually it was a bit more
00:12:22
during the middle of the day but now
00:12:24
they've pushed it back to later
00:12:26
students will get a break um around 3 30
00:12:28
or so approximately when the
00:12:30
teacher decides however the orientation
00:12:33
next
00:12:33
orientation lesson next week on the 2nd
00:12:36
of december we'll just run from
00:12:38
2 p.m to 4 p.m so it's a bit of a
00:12:40
shorter one
00:12:42
for that and
00:12:45
what your son or daughter will be
00:12:46
learning next year so
00:12:48
um there's a bit more detail here into
00:12:50
units one and then unit two
00:12:52
and a bit less for unit three and four
00:12:54
given it's um a whole year away
00:12:56
and i'm sure the teacher will go through
00:12:59
that with a bit more detail when they
00:13:01
when they get to the year 12 but for
00:13:02
year 11
00:13:04
or unit one health um what you learn in
00:13:08
the first semester
00:13:09
is the dimensions of health and
00:13:10
well-being um how to measure health
00:13:12
status
00:13:14
it's using things such as life
00:13:15
expectancy and looking at kind of common
00:13:18
um diseases or illnesses and looking at
00:13:20
the statistics
00:13:21
behind that um then we look at then they
00:13:24
look at factors influencing health and
00:13:25
well-being so what determines
00:13:27
or can determine someone's um level of
00:13:30
health
00:13:31
and and how they would or even then
00:13:34
their well-being as well so they kind of
00:13:35
look at that
00:13:36
and the next sections on nutrition
00:13:40
it just goes through the common
00:13:41
nutrients that um australians might have
00:13:44
too much of
00:13:45
um that are usually that are usually bad
00:13:47
or too little of that they need
00:13:49
which that can be good and then it looks
00:13:51
at ways in which we can try and change
00:13:53
dietary behavior and why it might not be
00:13:55
that
00:13:55
great in australia and the last section
00:14:00
area study three youth health and
00:14:01
wellbeing that's just on
00:14:03
common issues that impact youth health
00:14:05
and well-being so
00:14:07
um it looks at things like weight issues
00:14:10
mental health
00:14:11
um alcohol use um
00:14:16
injuries such as road traffic accidents
00:14:18
and the students usually do a bit of a
00:14:19
research report
00:14:21
look look pick one that they like um
00:14:23
usually if i run the class that's what
00:14:24
i'll do i'll get the students to pick
00:14:25
one that they like
00:14:26
and they kind of do a bit of a written
00:14:28
report on it and they use the statistics
00:14:29
that they've learned throughout the
00:14:30
semester
00:14:31
and the factors we've used at times to
00:14:34
come up with a bit of
00:14:35
a report on that and look in ways in
00:14:38
which we're trying to
00:14:39
limit those issues and to improve the
00:14:41
youth's health so that's
00:14:42
unit 1 that's the first semester of next
00:14:44
year
00:14:46
usually it's done with a test a short
00:14:49
answer test at the end of each one
00:14:52
as i said maybe for the third one i
00:14:54
would sometimes do a bit of a
00:14:55
written report as opposed to a series of
00:14:57
short answer quests
00:14:59
questions and there usually is a
00:15:03
end of unit exam as well this year due
00:15:05
to
00:15:06
kobe 19 we didn't have that at the end
00:15:08
of unit 1 but i'm sure
00:15:09
if everything stays right that we'll be
00:15:11
doing that
00:15:12
halfway through next year the second
00:15:15
semester
00:15:16
so um the second half of the year the
00:15:19
unit's called managing health and
00:15:20
development it
00:15:22
focuses a bit more on development
00:15:24
through the lifespan so how
00:15:26
people um
00:15:29
how people improve their skills whether
00:15:31
it be social skills their motor skills
00:15:33
their cognitive skills and
00:15:37
how you know if someone was delayed or
00:15:39
ahead how that might
00:15:40
lead to impacting future development for
00:15:43
them
00:15:44
and part of that is also looking at
00:15:45
quite a bit more in depth at prenatal
00:15:47
development so
00:15:48
if any um if any of the students are
00:15:51
interested in being midwives in
00:15:52
particular and that's usually
00:15:54
you know quite quite a bit of interest
00:15:56
to them so it goes through everything
00:15:58
from you know conception to
00:16:01
to birth looking at the different stages
00:16:04
and and what happens things that the
00:16:07
mother should do
00:16:09
while pregnant and factors to consider
00:16:11
well if you want to be a parent as well
00:16:13
that's that's all that one
00:16:15
and the second area of study is on
00:16:17
australia's healthcare system so
00:16:20
it's looking at things like medicare and
00:16:21
private health insurance
00:16:23
um and just looking at i guess you know
00:16:26
firstly there's a bit of a life skill
00:16:27
what you know what can you get
00:16:30
um you know covered or subsidized um
00:16:33
what's the pros and cons
00:16:34
um you know if you had a certain health
00:16:36
condition what could you get kind of
00:16:37
looking at those things for that
00:16:39
um as many students will obviously
00:16:41
probably be working in the healthcare
00:16:42
system so it's very good information to
00:16:44
know
00:16:45
and then the lastly there's a little bit
00:16:46
on digital technologies which i guess
00:16:48
are being
00:16:49
used more commonly in health you know
00:16:51
ranging from things like
00:16:53
um you know like teleconferencing for
00:16:56
health
00:16:57
um with gps just to um
00:17:02
just have a meeting with them so that's
00:17:04
you know we have to use it a lot more
00:17:05
this year so just kind of things like
00:17:06
that which can
00:17:08
um we're kind of changing the way we're
00:17:10
managing our health
00:17:11
as a country so that's all of next
00:17:13
year's stuff there's also a unit to exam
00:17:15
i should say as well
00:17:16
um that's all the stuff for year 11.
00:17:20
and in units three and four um
00:17:23
which yeah your son or daughter will be
00:17:24
doing when they're in year 11. so you're
00:17:26
a year or so away it looks at
00:17:29
australia's health in a globalized world
00:17:30
for unit three which is really
00:17:32
just more of a focus on australia at
00:17:34
that point we a lot of the stuff kind of
00:17:36
doubles up from
00:17:38
the previous year so there is it does
00:17:40
kind of build your skills for this unit
00:17:42
three
00:17:42
and a lot of that same thing that we've
00:17:44
just mentioned comes up again but some
00:17:46
additional things
00:17:47
we kind of look at different population
00:17:49
groups and compare their health so
00:17:51
like males and females or indigenous
00:17:53
australians and non-indigenous
00:17:54
australians
00:17:55
nutrition again and we kind of look at
00:17:57
models of health which is
00:17:59
how we go about trying to improve health
00:18:01
um
00:18:03
in in society so you know free from tv
00:18:06
campaigns to local programs to laws
00:18:11
and use and we kind of analyze the
00:18:13
effectiveness of them in how
00:18:16
and look at australia's health as a
00:18:17
result and we you know we know that's
00:18:18
very good so we kind of use
00:18:20
use that to kind of say something's
00:18:22
working and that's why australia's in
00:18:23
good health
00:18:24
and the last bit for the course
00:18:27
is um it's more about um health around
00:18:31
the world
00:18:32
so it is looking at
00:18:35
um often quite comparing
00:18:38
other countries that aren't doing so
00:18:40
well with their health and human
00:18:41
development
00:18:42
and comparing them to australia so um
00:18:45
we're comparing the indi the stats that
00:18:47
we talked about earlier
00:18:49
we're looking at some of the reasons
00:18:50
behind that or the factors that would
00:18:52
impact their health
00:18:53
we look at the sustainable development
00:18:54
goals which
00:18:56
in united nations project to try and
00:18:58
improve health and then we look at
00:18:59
australia's aid program
00:19:01
and what they try to do to improve
00:19:05
i guess the global global health and
00:19:07
well-being and
00:19:08
what australia tries to do so that's all
00:19:11
the health and human development
00:19:13
aspect of it the next bits the more
00:19:15
boring stuff to be honest
00:19:17
um we'll go through very briefly the
00:19:19
uniform the attendance and lightness
00:19:21
and transport to and from school
00:19:24
for health um students are expected to
00:19:28
come to school to come to class in full
00:19:31
college summer or winter uniform
00:19:33
there should be no peer uniform health
00:19:36
if they're if it's a practical
00:19:38
class with health it's probably it's
00:19:40
going to still be classroom based most
00:19:41
of the time and
00:19:42
there's no running around or exercise or
00:19:46
anything like that so
00:19:47
you should still be in full um college
00:19:50
summer or winter uniform and not pe
00:19:52
uniform
00:19:54
attendance attendance is compulsory and
00:19:56
this college is quite strict on this
00:19:58
um if if your son or daughter does miss
00:20:02
a class the student must provide a
00:20:05
medical certificate
00:20:07
doesn't mean every single time it means
00:20:09
that
00:20:10
i'd say without going all the way
00:20:12
through the rules
00:20:13
if you miss one class that's fine
00:20:15
without a medical certificate and we do
00:20:17
understand things happen
00:20:18
you can get a stat deck as well um as
00:20:21
much as you can but
00:20:22
ideally a medical certificate if it adds
00:20:25
up to them to be say two full days that
00:20:26
are missed at some point
00:20:28
um that does put it you know the student
00:20:30
at risk of receiving and not
00:20:31
satisfactory as it's probably too many
00:20:33
lessons missed
00:20:34
um so as it says there if a student does
00:20:37
miss a lesson
00:20:38
obviously work with the subject teacher
00:20:40
which look as i said it won't be me
00:20:42
and then the medical certificate and
00:20:44
they can pass it on
00:20:46
and they can pass on the following week
00:20:48
once they're back and
00:20:50
i know there's a bit more to it without
00:20:51
going through it but i don't think that
00:20:53
just the best practice is if
00:20:55
if a student misses a class just to go
00:20:56
get a medical certificate or
00:20:58
um or a stat deck at worst and that way
00:21:01
there'll be no
00:21:02
issues with this um and i know there's
00:21:05
times
00:21:06
going off past years when i have had the
00:21:07
year tens um i have taught them for
00:21:10
these days that
00:21:11
there's been things like work experience
00:21:13
and other school commitments that have
00:21:14
happened with
00:21:15
with um students
00:21:19
don't worry about that that's fine we
00:21:20
understand that and that won't count
00:21:22
it's more things just unexplained
00:21:24
absences that we
00:21:25
are unaware of with the students
00:21:29
what i guess the reasons why they're not
00:21:31
at the college on that day
00:21:34
lateness um if a student is late to
00:21:36
class you're required to sign in using
00:21:38
the um kiosk at the front office
00:21:42
um these minutes will accrue and
00:21:44
continue contribute towards overall
00:21:45
attendance
00:21:47
i don't know how this will all you know
00:21:50
how schooling will be working
00:21:51
next year in terms of um some of the
00:21:53
things we've got in place at the moment
00:21:55
but currently there's only a couple of
00:21:56
gates open
00:21:57
just so students can be temperature
00:21:59
temperature tested on their weigh-in
00:22:01
and we do need you know students to do
00:22:03
that so it is important if
00:22:05
they are late you're coming through the
00:22:06
front desk you do sign in with a lady at
00:22:08
the off in the office will
00:22:10
temperature test is to make sure
00:22:12
everything's all good um
00:22:14
and yeah and that way it's all logged
00:22:16
and the student can go to class
00:22:19
and lastly for transport students to
00:22:22
organize their own method of transport
00:22:23
to and from the college
00:22:24
i know in saying all within the past
00:22:26
they've had a bus and that's fine
00:22:28
but students yeah could take public
00:22:30
transport or being dropped off and
00:22:32
picked up but that's
00:22:33
your responsibility for that
00:22:37
and if you do have any further questions
00:22:39
as i said i don't i won't necessarily be
00:22:40
teaching you to sign a door next year
00:22:41
but i've often taught
00:22:43
the year where they're in year 11 and
00:22:45
they're doing units 3 and 4. i've had
00:22:47
that for the last
00:22:48
three or four years at least so if you
00:22:50
do have any questions
00:22:52
