Introduction
In this set of interconnected learning experiences students analyse factors that influence equity of government health funding and outcomes, with a particular focus on mental health.
Achievement standard
By the end of Year 10, students propose and evaluate personal strategies to manage their identities, emotions and responses to change. They evaluate how attitudes and beliefs about equality, respect, diversity and inclusion influence the nature and quality of relationships. Students propose and justify strategies to manage online and offline situations where their own or others’ health, safety, relationships or wellbeing may be at risk. They synthesise health information from credible sources to propose and justify strategies to enhance their own and others’ health, safety, relationships and wellbeing. Students evaluate and refine their own and others’ movement skills and performances, and apply movement concepts in challenging or unfamiliar situations. They adapt and transfer movement strategies to unfamiliar situations to achieve successful outcomes. Students propose and evaluate community-based physical activity interventions designed to improve the health, fitness and wellbeing of themselves and others. They apply and evaluate leadership approaches, collaboration strategies and ethical behaviours across a range of movement contexts.Personal, social and community healthy

Suggested activity sequence
This sequence is intended as a framework to be modified and adapted by teachers to suit the needs of a class group.
Part A: Tax-societies – disadvantage and equity
- Introduce the idea of equity, equality and justice using the fairness slide on the visualiser:
- Equality is providing everyone with the same thing.
- Equity is providing everyone what they need to succeed.
- Justice is removing the barriers, so no-one needs assistance.
- Use a grouping strategy to organise students into pairs.
- Display the disadvantage and equity slide on the visualiser to provide students with instructions for the activity.
- As a class discuss if they think the tax system is fair or not and why. Invite pairs to display and explain their diagrams.
Part B: Mental health
- Introduce the idea of mental health support services and brainstorm tax-funded services. Write them on the board.
- In table groups students complete the activities on the mental health slide of the visualiser.
- As a class, discuss group responses.
