What’s In

What is a Healthy School and Community Environment?

Healthy school communities are places where all the members of the community such as, pupils, parents, teachers and other groups of people work together to build and keep the physical and psychosocial community health and well-being environment.

The Physical Environment focuses on creating and maintaining a healthy place that protects those who spend time here. These include access to safe, clean and good quality of air and water as well as pleasing and flexible spaces which can help stimulate and develop different interests and abilities of a certain individual.

A Better Place to Stay

Written by: Receli P. Imas

I’m in a new place that nobody cares
No one knows me and all seem to be strangers
They all make faces, fun, and loud laughter, not tears
For me these pretty beings are monsters!

[illustration: a girl looking sad while two classmates gossip and make faces at her]

Gossiping about me, they bully me socially
Any rude hand gestures, bullying me physically
Unkind words and comments they say about me
Listening to verbal bullying is hurtful as it can be.

Don’t allow bullies to do what they wanted to
They should be stopped at the start of the things they do
They need help and utmost care as far I know
Their bad experiences were the root-causes, too.

[illustration: group of children smiling and playing together outdoors]

Although they are like that, they need respect
Love and attention they do expect
Their victims should not fight back, but walk away
To make this place a better place to stay.

Illustrated by Zoila Mae P. Panes, Riza E. Celebrado, and Marvin P. Pagurayan

Kyla, do you really think that a clean and healthy school and community environment are important to children like us?

Yes. A well-maintained and peaceful school and community play an important role for all of us, because this is where we do and share activities everyday. Children like us deserve to be in that place, Kyle.

There’s a lot of ways to keep our school and community free from harm. We need to do our part to have a peaceful and healthy environment.

Yes, you are right, Kyla. Can you share to me how to keep and build our school environment healthy?

That is …… if we help one another to make it happened.

School facilities should be well-maintained, clean, safe, pleasant and spacious. Keep it beautiful, by providing enough area for playing, studying and giving children a place to interact or enhance their interests. It should promote an environment that is free from bullying and discrimination.

You see, they play basketball together to make them feel good and healthy about themselves. They can easily get along by showing right kind of behavior with each other.

Kyla, I get it. I will be friendly to our classmates and friends starting today so that I can play with them, too.

Good for you, Kyle. If you are a friendly person, you must show respect to the people around you so that they will respect you too. You can do things together harmoniously like playing and keeping your school and community environments healthy.

Wow! that is true. Now I have learned a lot about keeping and building our school and community environments healthy, Kyla. Thank you for sharing me those things.

Our health is determined by the environment we live. The ability to make healthy choices depends on the community where we stay, learn, work and play. Keeping and building a healthy, safe and well-maintained place is important for protection and well-being of the people.
