children. Public health is one of the principal amount in the context of
the progressofthenation.
A great number of children namely 30% of the total population
of Indonesia, or about 73 million people and school age is the golden
age for instilling the values of clean and healthy behaviors (PHBs) thus
potentially as the change agent to promote PHBs, either in the school
environment, family and society. Currently in Indonesia there are more

Schools in addition to functioning as a place of learning can also be a
threat of disease transmission if not managed properly. Moreover,
school-age child is also a period prone to various diseases.
There are several indicators that are used as a measure to assess PHBs

healthy snacks in the school cafeteria, use the toilet clean and healthy,
exercise regularly and measurable, eradicate mosquito larvae, do not
smoke at school, weigh and measure height every 6 months, dispose of

caries in Indonesia is dominated by a group of children aged less than
12 years 76.2% or eight out of ten children in Indonesia have problems
cavities caused by wrong toothbrushing habits (Dumiyani, 2012).

learning process with the community, especially people in school

well as develop activities rooted in the community, according to local
socio-cultural conditions and supported by policies internally and
