Our Vision

Our Vision is that Health Promotion be embedded in the ethos of Western Australian schools.

Schools are a hub for health promotion in communities.

The health of school users is improved and/or protected through their school.

Throughout their schooling, children and youth are healthy, safe and equipped to embark on a journey of lifelong learning.

Agencies better understand the needs of schools and can develop appropriate programs and initiatives.
