Example: Physical & Mental Fitness:
A Strategic Program for Schools.
The primary responsibility of schools is to foster
student achievement. The link between nutrition,
learning and behaviour has been well established.
"Healthy students are better learners. Not only must schools contribute to student health through policy and daily practice, but health promoting schools are safer, calmer and host students demonstrating higher academic engagement and success than schools that are not health promoting."

What is Wellness?
Wellness is a concept that broadens, extends, and reaches beyond the traditional ideas of fitness and health. It is a way of doing – a way of being – that not only adds years to our lives but also improves the quality of our lives. Wellness is:
• the quality of life we enjoy when the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions of our lives are in balance – when no dimension is being neglected or overemphasized.
• those little favours we have done for ourselves this week multiplied 10,000 times over the next 30, 40, or 50 years. The stretch breaks during the day, eating a healthy breakfast, the five-minute break to watch the sunset, walking or cycling to school/work, and other activities.
• the quality of life we enjoy when we adopt and maintain “wellness-enhancing” behaviours and avoid “wellness-risking” behaviours.
