Learning Intentions:
Students research and analyse the effectiveness of a health-promoting strategy in maintaining and/or improving an
environmental health issue of their choosing within either a school or community environment. Students work
collaboratively to plan, organise and deliver their campaign to a chosen audience and seek feedback.
This assessment consists of two parts, a group investigation and presentation, and an individual reflection with an in-
depth analysis of the health trends and health promoting activity.

Success Criteria:
Part 1: Group Investigation and Presentation
As a group, choose a target audience and investigate the issue of environmental health and the impact is has on
health and wellbeing. Gather relevant information related to defining your issue and identify possible barriers to
achieve good health and well-being. Students are to research, plan and implement action on a community
environmental issue to improve health and wellbeing outcomes.

1. Gather relevant information from a variety of primary and secondary sources such as observations,
interviews, surveys, information from health agencies, print and/or electronic sources. Relevant community
agencies and/or health professionals are also a helpful source of information (you must include your primary
resources in your appendix).
2. As a group, evaluate the effectiveness of an appropriate health-promoting strategy you’ve implemented, in
improving an environmental health issue for your chosen target audience.
 3. As a group, plan, research and present your idea for a health-promoting activity or social action to your
target audience, provide evidence of your social action and evaluate how it went with feedback provided by
your target audience.
4. Present your findings to the class, relating the impact of the health issue, your findings, and the health-
promoting strategies your group developed.
5. Evaluate the influence of existing health promoting activities and the role of the community agencies that
you accessed.
This can be in the form a multimodal presentation (PowerPoint, Prezi, Photo Story, video, blog etc.).

Part 2: Individual Reflection

After the group activity, write a personal reflection which addresses the following:
Individually present evidence of a discussion related to the group investigation and presentation. This must include:
 evidence of your participation and collaboration in the group planning and presentation (e.g. a verification
feedback sheet, a video, written notes or journal entries, audio tapes and/or photographs)
 a personal reflection describing your preparation
 an evaluation of the researched information
 an evaluation of the factors that contributed to the effectiveness of the group exercise
 an evaluation of working in the group
 an evaluation of the health-promoting activity or recommended social action
 How can I improve on my health and well-being to make lifelong changes?

Assessment Conditions:
As a group, present your multimedia presentation to the rest of the class. Each group member must contribute
equally to both the research and presentation phases of the task. Group members must allow time for questions
from the audience.
The individual reflection can be presented in written, oral or multimodal form (maximum of 1000 words written or a
maximum of 6 minutes oral or and multimodal equivalent. You will be assessed as an individual on your contribution
to the presentation and your preparation and contribution to the group’s success.
