About Us

Health-Promoting Schools is an internationally-recognized approach to supporting students’ educational outcomes while addressing school health in a planned, integrated, and holistic way.  

We know "being well" and "doing well" are two sides of the same coin.  HPS aims to support both through four key pillars: social and physical environment; teaching and learning; policy; and partnerships and services. 

Schools that embrace the HPS approach are designed to make the healthy choice the easy choice.

The HPS Partnership is an overarching term to describe the many partners involved in HPS throughout CCRCE. Central to the HPS Partnership are two key teams: the Core Team and the Steering Committee. Both include representation from CCRCE, Public Health, Mental Health and Addictions and the Department of Communities Culture Tourism and Heritage (CCTH):
