The concept of a Health Promoting School has been found to be effective to
improve health and well-being of students as well as a help with teaching and
learning in school. Effective implementation of Health Promoting School is a
complex intervention involving multi-factorial and innovative activity in many
domains such as curriculum, school environment and community. Many studies
evaluating Health Promoting School do not include outcomes reflecting the
organisational or structural change as many of those studies are quantitative in
nature and the statistical assumptions are not valid reflecting the
organisational structure changes. Recent global meetings of experts have reviewed
the impact on student health from the perspectives of school environment, school
policies on health, action competencies on healthy living and community linkage.
The English Wessex Healthy School Award Scheme and the Hong Kong Healthy School
Awards Scheme have developed detailed systems to analyse whether each individual
school has reached the standard of a model Health Promoting School reflecting a
more holistic appreciation and understanding of all the effects of school-based
health promotion with positive award-related changes. However, not many schools
are able to implement Health Promoting School in its entirety, so cores
indicators are needed as a starting point for wider implementation. Hong Kong
Healthy School Awards Scheme is still ongoing with data for analysis of
indicators with significant correlation with better health and well-being. We
identified the core indicators and substantiated the requirements for successful
outcomes by supplementing the established award-scheme framework with a review of
recent literature and documents. Framework of Health Promoting School would go
beyond improvement of health literacy to enable a more efficient system for
education and health on children, hence a good investment in children.
