Secondary Schools & JCs

At HPB, we encourage schools to establish a culture that promotes healthy and active living. Here are some programmes your school can adopt to empower students and parents in supporting this culture.

Programmes offered are in support of Grow Well SG, a national initiative that aims to empowers families, with support from schools and the community to build healthy habits in children which can continue through to adulthood, bringing long-term health benefits. 

For Students

    Healthy Meals in Schools Programme (HMSP)

    HMSP aims to promote healthier food choices in schools through a collaborative effort with teachers, canteen vendors, and students. In partnership with the Ministry of Education, healthy eating habits are encouraged from a young age. ​

    We support participating schools by providing guidance on healthy food options, offering educational resources, and advising vendors on the use of healthier ingredients.​

    Virtual Coaching/ Teleconsults

    Virtual Coaching is conducted for selected parents to support them as they guide their child to build and sustain healthy foundational lifestyle habits, supporting disease prevention and long-term health outcomes. These sessions focus on establishing healthy routines based on the child’s needs, readiness, and existing habits.

    During the teleconsult, healthcare professionals engage families through real-time two-way communication to understand behaviours and collaboratively set practical, step-wise goals across key domains such as nutrition, physical activity, and screen use. Parents are highly encouraged to bring along their child for the sessions!

    Teleconsults are offered by invitation only to selected students. Parents will be informed if their child is eligible for the teleconsult service.
