In June 2006, the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) distributed copies of a learner’s book called Today’s Choices to all high schools in the Western Cape Province.

This book provides information relating to Learning Outcome 1 and its associated assessment standards in the Personal Well-being focus of Life Orientation for Grade 10 and 11.

This book has been provided as additional resource material, as Life Orientation is a new subject in the Further Education and Training (FET) Band. The book should be utilised in conjunction with other resource material, but is not a compulsory textbook.

Training courses in the focus area of Personal Well-being were offered during the April 2005 school holidays and during the January 2006 school holidays. The course in Personal Well-being, which supports the National Curriculum Statement for Life Orientation, covered the content applicable to this focus. A CD-ROM, a videocassette, a teacher’s guide and a learner’s book were issued to schools.
