Overview
Comprehensive school health is a framework for building healthy school communities that support students in reaching their full potential as learners—and as healthy, productive members of society.
Comprehensive school health (CSH) is a whole school approach that supports healthy school communities. The CSH framework can be used to include other evidence informed practices into the school environment.
Four Components
Comprehensive school health addresses four distinct but related components:
- Social and physical environment
- Teaching and learning
- Policy
- Partnerships and services
Addressing all four components creates a greater impact on student health and well-being.
Social Environment
The school’s social environment is an important part of comprehensive school health, including:
- The quality of the relationships between students and staff
- The emotional well-being of students and staff
- A sense of belonging and connectedness
- Relationships with families and the wider community
When students feel connected to their school community, they can have higher levels of well-being and success.
Development of Key Competencies
Comprehensive school health supports the development of key competencies, such as:
- Critical thinking
- Problem-solving
- Decision-making
- Personal management
- Collaboration and leadership
These competencies enable students to value and respect diversity and treat one another with respect.
