Health and Wellbeing at CBHS
At Christchurch Boys’ High School, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our students, ensuring they are equipped to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Our comprehensive approach to health encompasses physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, creating a supportive environment for every student to succeed.
Our Approach to Wellbeing
We believe that a healthy mind and body are essential for effective learning and personal development. Our initiatives focus on:
- Preventative Care: Promoting healthy habits and regular health check-ups to keep students at their best.
- Proactive Support: Providing access to counsellors, nurses, and pastoral care staff to address individual needs.
- Holistic Education: Integrating health education into the curriculum to encourage lifelong wellbeing practices.
Health Services on Campus
- On-Site Nurse: A qualified nurse is available during school hours to assist with illnesses, injuries, or general health concerns.
- Counselling Services: Students have access to professional counselling to support their mental and emotional health.
- Pastoral Care Team: Our dedicated staff work closely with students and their whānau to provide tailored wellbeing support.
Health Education Programme
Our health education curriculum equips students with knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their health. Key topics include:
- Nutrition and fitness.
- Mental health awareness.
- Healthy relationships and communication.
- Substance education and harm minimisation.
Collaborating with Whānau
We recognise the vital role whānau play in fostering student wellbeing. Through regular communication and resources, we aim to empower families to support their sons’ health journey.
Community Partnerships
To extend the reach of our health initiatives, we collaborate with local organisations such as:
- Pegasus Health
- Mana Ake
- Community and Public Health Canterbury
These partnerships ensure our students benefit from expert advice, services, and resources tailored to their needs.
