It’s Your Life – Senior Cycle SPHE Mentor Books

Social, Personal & Health Education for Senior Cycle

It’s Your Life is a new Social, Personal and Health Education book for Senior Cycle Students. The book provides students with opportunity to explore current and future life issues in a safe classroom environment. Senior Cycle students will learn to plan for their lives both inside and outside the school, finding our how to understand themselves first before discovering how to make clear and informed decisions about their own lives.

Both authors are experienced SPHE teachers who teach/lecture/research in a range of other subject areas. It is the fusion of this expertise that ensures that this book is both learner-centred and connected to ‘real life’ issues both in and out of the school environment.

• Based on the Draft Senior Cycle SPHE Syllabus.

• A wide range of dynamic activities appears in each module in order to develop interpersonal and intrapersonal skills inside and outside the classroom.
• Accessible language used throughout with key terms explained as they arise.
• Module links identified throughout to allow students to interconnect topics and to see at a glance how closely the themes addressed in the book relate to each other.
