Year 10 Boys and Men's Health Project

The Student Team

This is a student led project whose aim is...... to provide Year 10 boys with a secure online area where they can discuss and find information about health related topics including relationships, mental health, lifestyles, aspects of sexual behaviour, ‘me and my body’.

An area has been set up on the school Learning Platform that is only accessible to Year 10 boys, the teacher coordinator and a number of health professionals including the school nurse and welfare assistant.

The area contains a range of printed resources, links to relevant websites, a number of asynchronous discussion topics and a live chat facility.

The minutes of the first planning meeting reflect some of the issues that had to be considered in setting up this 'confidential' online advice and discussion area.

A separate Girls Health Project is also being organised.
