Healthy Schools Day is on the Wednesday 12 May 2010.

This is an opportunity to promote what schools are ALREADY doing to improve the health of students and the whole school community.

Is there something "healthy" happening in a school you know of?

Why not tell us about what your school is doing to promote school health! We'd love to share it on our website!
 
Also, we encourage you to seek local media and other promotional opportunities to raise the profile of the school and the positive activities that it is doing within the community. We encourage you to make the day as exciting and interactive as possible, encouraging students to actively participate by displaying, demonstrating or and presenting elements of the program.

To support you in the promotion of the health promotion program(s) that you implement, the WAHPSA has provided you with a media release template.

You may also wish to contact the coordinator of the program that you are implementing (for example the contact person within the School Drug Education and Road Aware program) for further support and ideas about how to promote your school as part of Healthy Schools Day.

Read about some of the great ideas from other schools, or for a list of other WA agencies that are committed to improving school health, please visit our members page.

The WAHPSA would like to thank you again for your involvement in Healthy Schools Day and your dedication to the health of your students and your school community.
