The school students are facing mental health issues, and their performance is not improving in China. Health education policies are not implemented at the school level in China. However, scholars focus on college students’ health education, but the school student is neglected. The research’s primary objective is to answer the question: What is the impact of health education on the psychological well-being of school students? A sample of 549 10th grade students is collected from China’s public and private sector institutes. The partial least square–structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) is employed to analyze the data. The outcomes highlighted that the impact of health education is significant on the psychological well-being of school students in China. Furthermore, the study introduced that the moderating role of sustainable health exercise and sports participation is critical as it positively influences the relationship between health education and psychological wellbeing. This research improves literature as the novel contribution are highlighted in theory. Furthermore, the government education policies must be reframed under the light of this research’ findings to improve students’ health.

当前中国在校学生面临心理健康困境，学业表现亦无显著提升，且国内健康教育政策在学校层面未得到有效落实。现有研究多聚焦于大学生健康教育，却忽视了普通在校学生群体。本研究的核心研究问题为：健康教育对在校学生的心理健康福祉存在何种影响？本研究从中国公办与民办院校中采集了549名十年级学生作为研究样本，采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（Partial Least Square–Structural Equation Modelling, PLS-SEM）对数据进行分析。结果表明，健康教育对中国在校学生的心理健康福祉具有显著影响。此外，本研究证实，持续性健康锻炼与体育参与发挥着关键的调节作用，可正向强化健康教育与心理健康福祉之间的关联。本研究在理论层面提出了创新性贡献，丰富了相关学术文献。教育主管部门需结合本研究的发现对现有政策进行优化调整，以切实改善学生的健康水平。
