Term 3 Focus - Year 10 

During Term 3 in PDHPE, Year 10 have begun working through a unit that explores the peer and social influences on health. The focus of the unit will have students investigate the influences on young drivers, online gambling and excessive technology use.

Students will work through a range of activities and conduct research to identify personal and group protective strategies that will ultimately lead to positive outcomes.

During recent lessons, students have participated in an interactive activity where they explored the dangers of distractions from mobile phones or other devices whilst driving. They attempted to navigate through various tasks on their phone whilst completing a driving circuit of the game Mario Kart. Students were quickly able to recognise the challenges that were faced and outline the dangers by engaging in such behaviours.

Below are some images and a short video of some students attempting this activity. It is worth nothing how their attention is divided between the 2 tasks.
