The Year 13 Health cohort held their annual Health Practitioners Workshop in Week 1 of Term 2. We hosted six health practitioners from various disciplines, including yoga, Reiki, mindfulness, and Rongoa Māori. A GP and a breast cancer surgeon presented to the students.
Each presenter shared valuable information about their practice in general and how their practice helps with breast cancer treatment and symptoms.
The students will use this information and learning for life in general and their internal assessment. Some students commented they felt “more connected to the topics” and “learnt new information and exercises.” In addition, the information “gave us a lot of insight into other treatments, making it easier to go in-depth for the internal.”
We really appreciate the community support from our local practitioners who take time out of their busy schedules to pass on their knowledge.
