Denis Delbois — Assistant coordinator
The concept of healthy schools has emerged out of a global movement called
Comprehensive School Health (CSH).
CSH recognizes that healthy children are better able to learn, and that schools can
directly influence children’s health through the
creation of a healthy school environment. Contact

healthy habits to enhance learning. To assist schools in creating and sustaining a
healthy school, the Joint Consortium for School Health (JCSH) has developed the Memphre@quebecenforme.org
Healthy School Planner, a tool that will help schools assess the health of their school

and support them in developing an action plan for making improvements.
Whether your school currently provides minimal support, or already has a well
developed support program in place, this tool will help your school become a
healthier place to be. The tool will help you assess the health of your school and
support you in developing a long term action plan for making improvements.
