We believe in creating the school a health promoting unit because:
- Health and well-being of students affect their academic achievements
- Every student's values, behaviour and attitude affect the people around them
- Students who feel good about their school are less likely to undertake high risk behaviors and have better learning outcome
- Schools are health promotion settings for the benefit of staff and the students
Building blocks of a Health Promoting School
- School leadership
- Responsibility and authority
- Commitment from stakeholders including management, staff, students and local community
