11/12 News
This is an exciting term for current and prospective students in years 11 and 12 at Prospect. We have a lot of fun and interesting hands-on Complementary Therapy workshops which we're running as part of our specialised programme - Personal Health and Wellbeing (Level 2, TASC subject). This unique subject allows students to explore all aspects of life that promote and inhibit physical, emotional and mental health and wellbeing. In Terms 1 and 2, we explored the impacts of exercise and nutrition on health and reflected on ways to improve a diet's nutritional profile to promote wellbeing. This term we're looking at Alternative and Complementary Therapies. As part of this process, we're running a series of workshops in aromatherapy, massage and naturopathy (herbal medicine) and inviting guest presenters to come and share their knowledge with students. We've also extended the invitation to attend these workshops to interested years 9 and 10 students. The details are as follows:
