Healthy students are better prepared for learning.
Working together to address school's unique strengths and needs through a collaborative, planned, and integrated approach can help school communities become a healthy place for all.
Creating Your Action Plan
New: The Canadian School Health Standards (2021) can be used to help spark conversations and bring your school community together to elevate well-being. Use this resource as a checklist to chart your healthy school journey, or in a non-linear fashion as you need it.
We also recommend using the Ontario Foundations for a Healthy School (a companion resource to the K-12 school effectiveness framework) to address a range of health topic(s) and apply a comprehensive approach, through strategies in each of the following key areas:
- Curriculum, teaching and learning
- School and classroom leadership
- Student engagement
- Healthy physical and social environments
- Home, school and community partnerships
Schools offer a wide range of opportunities for students to learn, practice and promote positive and healthy behaviours. The creation of Healthy School environments is heavily influenced by school and classroom leadership.
