Vision and Values
Our vision is to improve the health of students, teachers, their families and other members of community through schools. Children and young people represent a country’s future. Their health needs are vital, and they share an entitlement to good health services with the rest of the community. Schools are a setting that offers a tremendous opportunity to impact such learning and reinforce the idea.
