Growth and Development

Growth and Development is one of the six health topics a school community may identify as their priority health topic for Ophea’s Healthy Schools Certification.

Schools can select a variety of activities to support positive growth and development amongst students, staff and the broader school community.

For sample activities relating to Growth and Development, review H&PE At Home, as well as our Ideas for Action (Growth and Development) resource.

To access additional tools (lesson plans, supplements, activities) to support growth and development, visit our Teaching Tools website.
