This 'deep dive' describes the Halifax Regional Centre for Education's (HRCE) Healthy School Communities, which uses the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework. HPS is an evidence-based approach focusing on creating supportive school environments that improve student health, well-being, and learning outcomes. The framework considers several key areas, including school environments (physical and social), health-promoting policies, services and programs, and teaching and learning. HRCE's implementation involves partnerships with Public Health, providing funding, resources, and support to schools to foster inclusive, equitable, and vibrant communities. The ultimate goal is to enhance student health and learning potential through a holistic, whole-school approach.
