Launched by AIA Group in 2022, the AIA Healthiest Schools Programme aims to foster healthy living habits among students, teachers and parents. Schools are invited to participate in the AIA Healthiest Schools Competition, where they showcase their health programmes and achievements. Nearly 300 primary schools and secondary schools in Hong Kong have joined the Programme since its launch.
Embracing positive education, Baptist (Sha Tin Wai) Lui Ming Choi Primary School takes pride in a campus featuring vibrant murals and display boards with uplifting messages, and TV monitors showcasing students’ accomplishments, all reflecting the joint efforts of the school, parents and students to promote positivity. The school offers 60 diverse well-being activities designed to build students’ self-confidence and foster their holistic development. The daily 30-minute Energetic Recess aims to engage students in sports, followed by a whole-school exercise session to boost physical and mental well-being. Moreover, the school promotes sustainable living among students through farming, recycling, environmental conservation and animal interactions.
The school also engages parents in positive education and advocates for parent-child bonding through adventure camps and family gatherings. Certified parenting courses are arranged to encourage parents to share their experiences on positive education and co-create harmonious home environments. These initiatives help parents, students and teachers recognise and appreciate each student’s strengths and talents, fostering self-confidence and unlocking their potential.
Aiming to build a positive, well-being and healthy campus, Salesians of Don Bosco Ng Siu Mui Secondary School launched the Whole-Person Well-being Learning Experience (WLE) programme, empowering students to design and lead various activities that promote personal growth, deepen their appreciation of health and contribute to the community. The WLE framework has been expanded through the launch of “Well-being Learning Dreamer: From WLE to WLD” project, where students participate in broader community engagement such as digital inclusion for seniors and art therapy, enabling them to apply the knowledge and practical skills to real-world community building.
Through the planning and execution of activities, students develop transferable skills that enhance their physical, mental, and social wellness while cultivating positive values and self-confidence. Between 2022 and 2025, over 70% of students participated in community service, contributing more than 4,000 service hours. The school also places strong emphasis on the well-being of teachers and parents through interactive activities such as regular positive psychology workshops, family outings, and sharing sessions. These efforts foster a culture of wellness that extends beyond the school campus, enriching families and the wider community.
