What is Wellness?
At Peace Wapiti Public School Division (PWPSD), our wellness goals are accomplished through collaboration between the Board, Division Leadership, Wellness team members, school-based staff, and community partners. We are commited to fostering safe, caring, and supportive learning environments where all students and staff can achieve their potential, and become productive members of a changing society.
One of PWPSD's three priority areas, outlined in our Assurance Plan, is wellness. Wellness is influenced by mental, emotional, social, and physical factors. At PWPSD, wellness is foundational to success and influences how we learn, grow, and thrive. We strive to create environments that enhance the well-being of our school community members.
Wellness encompasses developing effective coping strategies for life's challenges, fostering a positive self-image, managing emotions, taking care of yourself, nuturing connected relationships, and supporting physical health through daily habits and healthy environments, such as movement, nutrition, rest, and thoughtful spaces.
Peace Wapiti Public School Division would like to thank all its municipal partners, the Government of Alberta, and Alberta Health for their financial support, and for providing the necessary resources to help the Wellness team be successful.
We are very proud of all the hard work our Wellness team members do each and every day to help PWPSD students, families and staff.
