Wellness

At Nbisiing Secondary School, we understand that the well-being of our students is foundational to their success both in and out of the classroom. Our Wellness program is designed to support the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our students through a comprehensive suite of resources, activities, and supports that honour our First Nations heritage.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO STUDENT WELLNESS

We prioritize a holistic approach to wellness that integrates the Anishinabek perspective, fostering a balance of mind, body, and spirit. Our initiatives include clinical counselling, wellness workshops, activities that promote physical health, and resources for mental well-being that are culturally relevant and accessible to all students.

RESOURCES AND SYSTEMS

Our wellness resources are extensive, offering students various avenues to support their well-being:

​

  • Cultural Programs: Engage in programs that celebrate and teach the richness of Nishinaabemwin and First Nations traditions.

  • Mental Health Support: Access to counsellors and mental health professionals who are attuned to the cultural and individual needs of First Nations students.

  • Physical Health: Facilities such as a gym and weight room, along with programs aimed at maintaining physical health.

Recognizing the importance of community in promoting wellness, Nbisiing encourages students to connect with each other and the broader community through school-based wellness activities. These include group fitness sessions, mental health awareness events, and workshops on nutrition and healthy living, all designed to strengthen communal ties and individual health.
