Ka ʻOihana Hoʻonaʻauao o ke Aupuni Hawaiʻi

Hoonaauao Ola

E ola pono. E mālama i nā piko.
Live pono. Nurture thriving connections.

Ola kino literacy is essential to students’ social, emotional, mental, physical and cognitive development. Ola kino literate individuals are able to find, understand and use information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for themselves and others. This not only contributes to resilience, well-being, healthy relationships and a positive quality of life, but also helps to prevent and reduce the risk of disease, injury and death.

While the primary focus of health education is the development of health skills, these skills must be addressed in conjunction with functional information in the context of priority risk topics. Standards-based health education must be age and developmentally appropriate, medically accurate and provide factual information in all priority risk topics:

  • Mental and emotional health
  • Ola kinoy eating and physical activity
  • Personal health and wellness
  • Palekana
  • Kāohi ʻino
  • Ka pale ʻana i ka paka
  • Kāohi i ka waiʻona a me nā lāʻau ʻē aʻe
  • Sexual health and responsibility

Nānā: Hoʻonaʻauao olakino in prekindergarten is aligned to the Hawaiʻi Early Learning and Development Standards (HELDS).

wellness guidelines for Hoonaauao Ola

Comprehensive health education provides the instructional foundation that prepares students to build healthy relationships and make lifelong healthy decisions. The nā alakaʻi olakino support quality health education grounded in Hawaiʻi.

The wellness guidelines for health education are organized around three key components that address instructional minutes, include nutrition education, and emphasize culturally relevant and ʻāina-based approaches:

  1. Instructional content of health education classes includes a focus on knowledge and skills that support healthy eating and is aligned with the HIDOE standards for health education.
  2. Hoʻonaʻauao olakino is provided to students in elementary grades at least 45 minutes per week and secondary grades at least 200 minutes per week.
  3. Nutrition education includes culturally relevant activities that are ʻāina-based and hands-on, such as food preparation, taste-testing, farm visits and school gardens.

Sexual Hoonaauao Ola

Several state laws and policies help prevent teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections through comprehensive sexual health education.

  • Kānāwai mokuʻāina (Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) §321-11.1) establishes requirements for any state-funded sexual health education program.
  • Board Policy 103-5 Sexual Hoonaauao Ola (PDF) requires the Department to implement comprehensive sexual health education
    • E hāʻawi ʻia ka wehewehe ʻana o ka haʻawina i hoʻohana ʻia e ke kula i nā mākua/nā kahu kānāwai a e kau ʻia ma ka pūnaewele o ke kula ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kekahi aʻo.
    • A student shall be excused from sexual health instruction only upon the prior written request of the student’s parent or legal guardian.
    • ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopaʻi ʻia ka haumāna, ka hoʻopaʻi hoʻonaʻauao, a i ʻole ka hoʻopaʻi ʻē aʻe inā hana ka makua a kahu paha o ka haumāna i kahi noi palapala.
