Other Work Samples for:

Cam has identified and analysed a range of factors that can influence risk behaviours, such as peer pressure from popular group or need to impress peers, to rebel - against the family or law, escape from problems and to experiment with new things. Cam has accurately predicted potential physical, social and legal harms which demonstrates an understanding of health as a holistic concept. The response identifies both short-term and long-term consequences, such as drowning and conflict with parents. Cam has attempted to relate the influencing factors and potential harms but has not demonstrated an extensive understanding of the concepts. He/she has described three strategies that could enhance their own and others’ wellbeing and supported this with sound justification to minimise the potential harm in a similar situation. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard.
