Tomorrow is last day for Healthy Schools Grant applicants



Tomorrow is the last day for the current intake of applications for Healthy Schools BC regional grants, which offer 5,000 dollars to School Districts, Regional Groups of Public Schools, Regional Groups of Independent Schools, as well as Regional Groups of First Nations Schools.

The focus for the grant program is that of support for education and health-sector partners to work together on initiatives that support healthy schools, with the intention of strengthening their partnership.

Themes for this current grant program for 2018/19 follow three directions:

In partnership, explore the connections between physical and mental well being across whole school environments;

In partnership, explore Indigenous ways of wellness and their impact on supporting wellness across whole school environments;

In partnership, define and pursue your own approach to supporting the mental well being of students and/or all members of your school community.

Previous application periods have seen a Self-Regulation Inquiry take place through the program for Lax Kxeen Elementary School.

While Roosevelt Park Elementary School has had two initiatives take place through the Healthy Schools BC program.  A Morning DPA program as well as the Morning Movement to Music program.

Full details on the program and how educators can apply for it can be found here.
