Healthy Campus

Central College brings students and staff together to promote the health and wellbeing of our community. As a health promoting college. Central College embeds health in the everyday business through its education, community engagement and organisational culture to support our students, staff and the broader community.

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realise aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to well-being.
From the “Ottawa charter on health”  

Central College is working on a Healthy Campus and our staff work with students to pursue initiatives and strategies relating to the areas of interest for a health promoting college including, mental health and wellbeing (including alcohol and tobacco); physical activity, movement and active travel; and nutrition and healthy food. 

Central College is committed to providing a safe and healthy learning and working environment. As such, smoking is not permitted in the college.
