Healthy Kids Philosophy
Nutritional Health
- We believe healthy children have the greatest opportunity to achieve their academic potential.
- We promote opportunities within the school with respect to making healthy nutritional choices as defined by the Canada Food Guide.
- We strive to provide foods of high nutritional value while making allowances for celebratory or special even treats.
Physical Activity
- We believe physical activity is vital to the healthy growth and development of children.
- We emphasize activities for enjoyment, for promoting fair play and for personal health.
- We provide opportunities for students to develop knowledge, skills and positive attitudes necessary to lead active healthy lifestyles.
Safe and Caring environment
- We teach positive social behaviours and reinforce the use of these skills in and around the community.
- We assist students with the ability to express thoughts and feelings constructively in order to build relationships and manage conflict.
- We encourage students to show respect for others and learn how to work together in order to become responsible citizens.
