It focuses on physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing, exploring topics such as nutrition, physical activity, relationships, mental health and personal safety. Preservice teachers learn to design engaging, evidence‑based learning experiences that build health literacy, promote positive behaviours and strengthen students’ ability to make informed decisions about their wellbeing. Through this teaching area, graduates are equipped to foster inclusive, supportive learning environments and to empower students to contribute positively to their own health and the wellbeing of their communities.
