Health teacher — a check on you
A health teacher looks after students' health, with daily reporting to a backup team of doctors and daily yoga and games.
Overview
Health teacher — a check on you places a dedicated health teacher within a school to look after students' everyday health-related issues, functioning as a first point of contact rather than a substitute for medical care. The role is paired with a backup team of doctors the health teacher reports to, and extends beyond physical health to encouraging daily yoga, games and general mental wellbeing among students, working from the premise that a healthy mind rests in a healthy body.
