MELS

ACADEMIC YEAR 2021/2022 YEAR 10

MELS

Moral Education and Life Skills is designed to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes students need to manage their lives, now and in the future.

These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in the modern world.

COURSE CONTENT

MELS is taught once per week but also forms part of the daily routines, dialogues and values of those who work in our school. The curriculum provides a positive contribution to the climate and ethos of the school enabling students to grow and flourish; building effective relationships, developing social skills and resilience and thereby leading to confident individuals.

COURSE CONTENT

The curriculum is based upon a combination of the UK guidelines on Personal, Social and Health Education and the UAE’s Moral Education framework. The programme aims to develop essential skills and attributes based around core themes; health and wellbeing, relationships, living in the wider world, study skills, character and morality, the individual and the community.
