The Healthy Schools label aims to recognize the implementation of initiatives by schools to promote student health. It is awarded by a committee made up of health and education officials, based on criteria defined by each country or territory (see Framework Documents).

This approach offers numerous benefits for students:

• Healthy children are more likely to concentrate in class and to learn and understand better. Good health promotes academic success;
• Healthy children are more likely to achieve high levels of education;
• Quality education and a healthy environment allow children to develop good lifestyle habits and avoid risky behaviors.

In addition to directly contributing to student well-being through the implementation of concrete actions, this approach also offers benefits for schools. The label helps to promote schools’ commitment to health, to certify a certain level of expertise in establishments and to encourage inter-establishment exchanges on the development of a common culture around health promotion.

Teachers who are part of an establishment that has obtained the Healthy School label or are involved in a process to obtain the label can contribute to feeding the platform.

The platform highlights existing initiatives and projects in Pacific schools with the Healthy Schools label.

The site brings together materials, tools, resources, references, and examples of projects led by teaching teams in the region; categorized into four categories: projects, teaching resources, professional information points, and health challenges.

Submitted content can be in various formats: posters, booklets, videos, audio files, PowerPoint, PDF, etc.

If you have implemented an initiative in your school and would like to share this experience with other institutions, you are invited to contribute content to the platform.
This process involves three steps:

Create a contributor account (which will be validated by one of the site administrators)
Select the section in which you wish to publish (projects, educational resources, professional information points, health challenges)
Complete the form with all the requested information

Make sure you have all necessary authorizations (intellectual property protection, image rights, usage and distribution rights).
Your publication will be approved and published online by an administrator within 48 hours.

All documents added to the Healthy Schools platform were created by teachers and/or institutions, then reviewed by an administrator before publication on the site to ensure the validity and reliability of the information posted online.

However, while health issues are often similar across the Pacific, rules, lifestyle habits, and advice may vary depending on the region. The information posted on the platform can be used as examples and adapted to the context of each institution.
