Committee Goals and proposed actions
Healthy Schools Committee
Who are we and what are we about?
This committee is made up of a group of parents who are interested in helping promote the health and learning of our children and our school communities.
What is a healthy school?
A healthy school is a place where students have many opportunities – in the classroom, and in every aspect of their school experience – to foster their healthy physical, mental, social and intellectual development. This is often referred to as Comprehensive School Health.
Healthy schools – also known as health-promoting schools – work with partners from the health and education sectors, and with those from the broader community, including parents, to support students to develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. (Healthy Schools BC)
When and where do we meet?
Typically the third Monday of the month at the school board office unless otherwise posted on this page.
Are you interested in joining us or want to connect to share your thoughts or ask a question?
Perhaps you have something that you feel should be on the agenda for this committee.
