We envision a school community where all children are healthy, ready to learn, and prepared to make healthy lifelong choices. Our goal is to support education, individual/family health and public health through the use of the Whole School, Whole Community, While Child model (WSCC).

The WSCC model provides a broad framework for addressing both academic and non-academic needs of students in an integrated approach. The model helps how children and youth achieve a higher level of academic excellence through greater motivation and engagement in learning derived from meeting their basic needs to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported and challenged.
