Why The Healthy Classroom?
Achieve maximum health possible to obtain full benefit from their education.
Early identification and prompt intervention of any disease, injury or condition.
Children are vulnerable to wide spectrum of communicable and chronic diseases and conditions a number of which can be prevented through INFORMED HEALTH CHOICES.
As children attend school for most of their childhood and adolescence, schools can do the maximum to improve their wellbeing and competence.
It is also a well-known fact that establishing healthy behaviours during childhood is easier and more effective that trying to change unhealthy behaviour during adulthood.
Thus, we at The Healthy Classroom are taking this initiative to target both Education And Health Implementation and are envisioning to facilitate an integrated approach to health programming and more effective learning at the school level.
