Schools are important places in promoting student health and wellbeing. Not only do they provide safe and supportive environments to ensure that schools are healthy places to learn, play and work - but they are also a key place where comprehensive education takes place in regards to a range of health, personal development and wellbeing issues.
Schools have a responsibility to provide students with opportunities to develop the essential knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable them to make informed decisions about their health behaviours. Partnerships and services with other agencies, including support and referral services, can also enhance student health and wellbeing in the school setting.
