To lead a meaningful student life, you must first strive to maintain and improve your physical and mental health.
To achieve this, prevention and early detection of illness is important, but in daily life, it is also important to lead a regular life as much as possible by eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and engaging in moderate exercise and relaxation. The school health room supports students in staying healthy through health consultations and health awareness activities provided by the school doctor, psychosomatic physician, and nurses.
