Healthy Schools

Healthy children learn better

Good eating habits, daily physical activity and other activities for healthy minds and bodies are important to help children reach their full potential.

That's why we're working with school boards, students, teachers, principals, education support workers, parents and community partners to make Ontario's schools healthier.  Here's what's going on:

• Over 1,280 schools are being recognized for accepting Ontario's Healthy Schools Challenge;
• Twenty minutes of daily physical activity.
• Healthier food and beverages are being sold in elementary school vending machines.
• School boards, schools and community partners are working together to reduce bullying in schools.
