The Health and Physical Education Club at Al-Furqan English Higher Secondary School helps students develop their understanding of the factors that influence the health of individuals, groups, and society: lifestyle, economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental factors. Students develop competencies for mental wellness, safety management, and they develop understandings of nutritional needs. Students also build resilience through strengthening their personal identity and sense of self-worth, through managing change and loss, and through engaging in processes for responsible decision making. They learn to demonstrate empathy, and they develop skills that enhance relationships. Students use these skills and understandings to take critical action to promote personal, interpersonal, and societal well-being.
The key areas that the club tries to teach ever child are the following:
- Mental health
- Food and nutrition
- Body care and physical safety
- Physical activity
- Sport studies
