尼尔森·曼德拉高中坚信要让学生在学术、情感和社交方面都得到参与。第二届年度健康研讨会体现了这一主题：曼德拉团结，“互相关心”。

根据学生/员工调查，健康委员会在2018年2月23日提供了超过54个课程，讲者们分享了他们对健康的专业知识。这一天充满了互动和关于健康的学习，包括财务素养、性健康、健康关系、心理健康、灵性、尊巴舞、瑜伽、健康与营养、积极生活、禅绘等等。

这一天以免费早餐和土地致谢以及欢迎入场的仪式开始。然后学生们参加了Pruegger博士的主题演讲，她分享了多样性的希望和尊重的信息。学生选择并参加了两个个人课程。然后，主题演讲嘉宾Don Schapira结束了这一天的活动，他谈到了社交媒体对青年的影响。

另一个亮点是由青年冠军带领的曼德拉誓言和横幅，学生们在午餐时签署并悬挂在我们学校的体育场上。这一誓言代表了#mandelacares，我们承诺互相尊重和互相关心。

这一天充满了学习、分享和反思。学生完成了一份调查问卷，分享了他们的经历以及这一天对他们的影响，还提供了第三届活动的发展意见。我们的学生告诉我们他们非常感激学校为他们举办了一天的健康活动。许多学生评论了这类机会的价值，以及他们在这一天受到讲者的启发，决心将健康置于生活的首位。许多学生和工作人员志愿者使这一天取得了成功。

我们的目标是继续激励和提供无价的经验和见解，专注于学生/员工的健康和福祉。在我们目前的资助者，阿尔伯塔卫生服务和阿尔伯塔大学的持续支持下，我们的健康委员会致力于在尼尔森·曼德拉高中延续“关心自己和他人”的传统。

​Nelson Mandela High School believes in engaging students not only academically but also emotionally and socially. The second annual Wellness Symposium reflected that theme: Mandela United, “Taking Care of Ourselves and Each Other.”

Based on a student/staff survey, the Wellness Committee offered over 54 sessions on Feb. 23, 2018 in which presenters shared their expertise on wellness. The day was full of interaction and learning on wellness-related topics including financial literacy, sexual health, healthy relationships, mental health, spirituality, zumba, yoga, health & nutrition, active living, zentangle, and much more.

The day started with a complimentary breakfast and the acknowledgement of the land and welcome to the circle. Students then attended a Keynote sessions with Dr. Pruegger who shared her message of hope and respect for diversity. Students selected and attended two individual sessions. The day was brought to a close by Keynote Speaker, Don Schapira, who spoke about social media and its impact on youth.

Another highlight included the Mandela Pledge and Banner led by the Youth Champions, signed by students at lunch, and hung up in our school Stadium. This pledge speaks to #mandelacares and our pledge to honor and respect one another.

The day was full of learning, sharing and reflection. Students completed an exit survey to share their experience and the impact the day has had on them, as well as feed forward ideas for the third annual event. Our students told us how much they appreciated the school hosting a wellness day just for them. Many students commented on the value of such opportunities and how they have been inspired by presenters throughout the day to make wellness a priority in their lives. Many student and staff volunteers made this day a success.

Our goal is to continue to inspire and provide invaluable experiences and insights that focus on student/staff health and wellbeing. With the continuous support of our current funders, Alberta Health Services and the University of Alberta, our Wellness Committee is dedicated to continue the tradition of  “Taking Care of Ourselves and Others” at Nelson Mandela High School.
