Goals of Ophea’s Healthy Schools Certification

• Support and increase the capacity of schools across Ontario to address a priority health topic through the effective implementation of the 6-Step Healthy Schools Process

• Celebrate and formally recognise an individual school’s achievements relating to Healthy Schools

This year marks the 1st year St. Anthony will participate in this certification.

• We will begin by developing an Ophea Healthy Schools Team including students, staff, parents and our school nurse, Sandy Polly.

• We will complete a needs and assets assessment.

• We will determine a focus for the 2018-2019 school year and develop a plan of action.

• We will implement the plan and celebrate our successes.

• In June, after submitting all of our information from the above mentioned steps, we will hear about our certification status with Ophea Healthy Schools.

As we complete various stages of our certification, we will update information on this page.
