What is Health Promoting Schools?
What is Health Promoting Schools?
The Healthy Promoting Schools Team was formed to assist educators in the support, growth and development of student health (physical, mental and social well-being) in schools because when healthy they can live their best lives and reach their fullest potential.
HPS uses the Comprehensive School Health framework in conjunction with SD23 strategic plan to collaboratively support and grow:
core and curricular competencies through cross curricular teaching and learning
cooperative and connected school environments
authentic partnerships with community
