Health and Wellness for Focused and Productive Learner

RED CROSS PROJECT

The acquisition of knowledge is not solely the main goal of
education. The health of the learners should also be taken into
consideration- their physical, mental, and social well-being.
Their health and wellness help them become more productive
which can help with planning, decision-making, and motivation.
Ilocos Norte Regional School of Fisheries has been very aware of
its duties in promoting the health and wellness of the learners.

Through the school nurse, the learners are assessed and
monitored as regards their health status. Before health services
of Department of Education are rendered such as immunization,
they are given orientation on the importance of vaccination,
causes and treatment of preventable diseases and
administration of vaccines. Immunizations for Human Papilloma
Virus, Measles, Rubella, Tetanus and Diphtheria were conducted
to all Grade 7 students.

Food supplements or dietary supplements from sponsors
and SGC members were offered to help students improve their
health, increase their energy levels, and promote academic
performance.
