HLI ORIENTATION: Strengthening Our Journey Toward a Healthier School
Today, Badas National High School took another meaningful step in its journey toward becoming a Healthy Learning Institution (HLI) through an orientation on the HLI framework, documentation, and validation process.
Healthy Learning Institutions (HLI) is an approach that promotes a school environment where the health, well-being, safety, and overall development of learners and the school community are supported through coordinated programs, healthy practices, and a whole-school approach.
We sincerely thank our resource speakers from the Schools Division Office of the City of Mati for making time to share their knowledge, expertise, and valuable experiences with the BNHS HLI team.
Sir Peter Jourdan G. Reyes, RN, Division Nurse of the Schools Division Office of the City of Mati, discussed what HLI is, its purpose, and its six pillars, giving the team a clearer understanding of the framework and how it can help strengthen our school’s health and well-being initiatives.
Meanwhile, Sir Karlo Mark D. Malba, RN, School Nurse of Mati School of Arts and Trades (MSAT), shared practical experiences and insights on documentation, organizing and packaging MOVs, and the validation process, providing valuable guidance as we prepare our HLI portfolio.
As the Clinic In-Charge, Lea Mae M. Dacillo, RN, was tasked to present the HLI Documentation Management Structure, assignment of pillars and indicators, documentation workflow, and the organization of the HLI portfolio in Google Drive. These systems aim to help our team work collaboratively and ensure that our documentation is systematic, organized, accessible, and ready for validation.
Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to our HLI Head and School Principal, Dr. Alvielou M. Villanueva, for the continued support and encouragement throughout this undertaking.
To our speakers and the entire BNHS HLI team, thank you for sharing your time, expertise, and commitment. May this orientation serve as a strong foundation as we work together toward a healthier and more supportive learning environment.
Good luck, Badasians, on our HLI journey! 💚
Together, let us build a healthier school, one meaningful action at a time.
