Impact highlights

Students have diabetic families and therefore understand the difficulties families face. This learning is a caution and makes them aware to change their lifestyle, eating habits and other factors to avoid diabetes. The resource improved their understanding of diabetes issues in the community… My Y11 class will be learning about diabetes in Science this year (2025) as well as my Y10 class to prepare them for next year. The Y8/9 classes will also continue with My Health Profile.
