Those Health Captains who have undergone the nomination process would have the opportunity to: |
‧ |

We call those schoolchildren and adolescent nominated by school teachers “Health Captain” for receiving recognition and training. These pupils can become the critical mass for a new group or an extracurricular activity group in your school. What is the name of such a student group? Health Ambassador, Health Pioneer, Health Commissioner, Health Energizer…whatever name you choose to give the group is fine, as long as most pupils like it. You may also design unique badges, slogans for the group or even set out the rights and responsibilities of the members so as to strengthen team building and attributes that go with it. |

Many areas in your school such as the Sports Zone, School Radio/ Campus TV, news columns and display boards featuring health information, the Health Week, school open days, activities for community outreach etc. provide excellent opportunities for pupils to gain practical experiences. |

At present, many schools have set up or are preparing to set up such an organisation of students for health promotion such as Health Prefect, Health Ambassador and Health Captain. This kind of organisation can be presented in a variety of ways. In some schools these pupils assist their teachers as class representatives by disseminating health information to the class on a regular basis, while in other schools, students who are interested are selected by the teacher in advance forming a list of volunteers who would be called occasionally for their assistance when the teacher is planning to organise certain programmes related to health. There are also schools where an extra-curricular activity group (a service team or a club) with a clear mission to promote holistic health has been established. Through regular meetings, activities, voluntary works and services, Health Captains can play an active role in promoting positive values and a healthy lifestyle by practicing peer health education in the school. |

The pace of development in schools in terms health promotion and students’ needs could be very different. While we are recruiting “Network Schools” and promoting “District-based Stations”, we also welcome all local teachers nominating 1 to 4 students from each Interest School to become our Health Captains. |
