Why Healthy Schools?

The Healthy Schools approach is an internationally recognized framework to create a healthy school environment and improve student learning. This approach supports improvements in students’ educational outcomes and promotes resil-ience by addressing school health in a planned, integrated and holistic way. There is evidence that health and learning are interdependent; healthy children make better learners and better educated children are healthier.

The effectiveness and sustainability of this approach relies on a partnership between health, education, parents, students and community stakeholders working together on a school health committee.

The Healthy Schools Toolkit is designed to guide schools through the steps to creating a healthier school. School Health Committees may choose to use all or any of the resources in the Toolkit to support their Healthy Schools work.

Foundations for a Healthy School

1. High quality instruction and programs provide students with a wide range of opportunities to learn, practice and demonstrate knowledge and skills related to living a healthy life. The curriculum promotes active, healthy living through comprehensive teaching materials and learning strategies. It allows opportunities for teachers and support staff to participate in professional learning opportunities and to access current health information and teaching resources.

2. A healthy physical environment improves the conditions for learning. The physical environment includes the school building and grounds, routes to and from the school, and the materials and equipment used in school programs. A healthy environment includes: clean air, adequate lighting, sanitation, safe food handling and measures for promoting safety and preventing injuries.

3. A supportive social environment has a positive impact on students’ learning. It involves school-led initiatives which support student efforts to make healthy lifestyle choices. Teachers and parents can also benefit from the supportprovided,whichmaybeformal(schoolpolicies,rules,clubsorsupportgroups)orinformal(friends,peers,free play). Positive health role models, peer support, positive school climate and family support all contribute to a healthy environment for students to grow into healthy adults.

4. Community partnerships provide access to resources, programs and services to support staff, students and families in the development and implementation of Healthy Schools initiatives. Organizations such as public health, social services, parks and recreation and local businesses may be invited into schools to help address student needs.

A comprehensive Healthy Schools approach is the most effective method to address the needs of children and families.This integrated approach to health promo-

tion gives students numerous opportunities

to participate in, observe and learn positive

health attitudes and behaviours.

priority topic area

Develop an Action Plan (use a comprehensive

approach to address all four foundations for a
