Different Kind of Report Card

St. Stephen High School students getting a different kind of report card today.

Grade 10 students receiving a health report card.

A few weeks ago, testing was done for the students in many areas, including blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index, heart rate, and overall health, in a way to educate students to live a healthy life.

The study found as Body mass index goes up, students marks in school and their self-esteem went down.

The High School's Guidance councilor Don Walker says it occured to him a few years ago, they had testing for everything else school related, but not for the most important -- health.

Mr. Walker can be seen with Dr. Sohrab Lutchmedial, head doctor in the study.
