Wellness Committee

All of our schools have a designated wellness coordinator and a committee that meets at least three times per year to address school health issues, including the implementation of the taiala ole soifua maloloina. The wellness committee should consist of school administration, faculty and staff, as well as students, families and community representatives. The committee is responsible using data sources (e.g., Youth Risk Behavior Survey) to identify priority areas for the school’s Academic Plan.

At the beginning of each school year, each school community is notified about the wellness policy and provided with the wellness coordinator’s contact information. The schools also encourage students’ families to support wellness at school and at home.

Nutrition Taiala

Children who eat school lunches are more likely to consume milk, meats, grains and vegetables than students who bring lunch from home. They also tend to have higher nutrient intakes — both at lunch and over the course of an entire day. We make it a priority to ensure students get nutritious meals that fuel learning and physical activities. The Department serves more than 100,000 meals daily during the school year. Learn more about the taumafa taiala.
