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.​
