Since 2012, a dynamic parent-teacher group has led LiveLifeWell @School activities at our school to encourage healthy eating and daily physical activity.
Every day at school, we develop these important habits through Fruito-vego, the daily use of reusable water bottles, encouraging nutritious food from home and our Healthy Canteen.
The Healthy food strategy (PDF 609KB) explains how healthy food is expected in all school activities, comparing everyday foods and occasional foods, and is in-line with the NSW Government's Healthy school canteen strategy.
Special events give the students nutritional information and culinary skills.
How you can support LiveLifeWell@School:
- Send a labelled, refillable water bottle to school each day.
- Sustaining Breakfast with protein, whole grains, fresh fruit and veg
- Water should be the main daily drink - drinks such as juices and flavoured mineral water are best kept as occasional treats.
- Fruito-vego - send suitable fresh fruit or vegetables every day for our mid-morning snack around 10am, in a small container.
- Send healthy morning tea and lunch food in clearly labelled containers, minimising packaging with plastic or foil.
- Keep an eye on the fat, salt and sugar in packaged foods.
- Lots of daily physical activity.
- Turn off the TV or computer and get active!
- Join the parent/teacher group - new members are always welcome. Meet at least once a term in the Stellar Room.
- Be a helper at Eat A Rainbow and Make My Own Lunch activities
