Themes and Sub-themes.

Theme	Sub-Theme	Example Quote
Preferred Learning Engagement Strategies	Healthy competition	I think if you even like put the groups against each other… it would make it like a bit competitive and then everyone would want to do it, as most people are competitive (YHF participant)
	Interactive tasks	Yeah, it was good; it was fun as well to be interactive and you weren’t waiting around for long (YHF participant)
	Problem solving	Will there be like obstacles on it? Is it going to be almost like a maze? (School A participant)
	Providing variety and choice	I liked how there was like different sections that you could choose (YHF participant)
Practical & Logistical Considerations	Amount of time per learning activity	It would probably be best to make it around 10 min, even longer maybe (School A participant)
	Number of students per activity	I don’t know, it depends on how big the group is. 10 people is gonna be kinda hard to get everyone (involved), but if it’s 5/6 it’s easy to get a smaller group to work together on one thing. If it’s bigger, people are being left out (YHF participant)
	Creating the appropriate physical space	I thought the colours and the objects in the room were really important (YHF participant)
Ideas for LifeLab Content	Relating the content and learnings to real life	I think seeing the effect of a lack of sleep on the vignettes because even though they’re fictional, it’s probably not too far off from some people in the class. So that would maybe, like, make them [think]… oh, maybe I shouldn’t be doing that (YHF participant)
	The influence of social media on young people	He (the vignette) is believing stuff on Instagram that could be fake (School A participant)
	Lifestyle behaviours and their impact on health	I think it’s important to show, like, how your choices now, even though they might be small, and they might not seem significant, how they can, like, build up in your body (School A participant)
