School District No. 27 follows a Comprehensive School Health Approach
Comprehensive School Health:
- recognizes that healthy young people learn better and achieve more;
- understands that schools can directly influence students’ health and behaviours;
- encourages healthy lifestyle choices, and promotes students’ health and well-being;
- incorporates health into all aspects of school and learning, acknowledging that health is
- more than just the absence of illness;
- links health and education issues and systems; and, needs the participation and support of families and the community at large.
