They can choose from nationally branded ‘healthy’ products that you know and trust. Anything from cereals to muesli slices, dried fruit to a tuna lunch dish, soup to nuts, diet drinks to fruit juice or bottled water. The choices are endless.
School Canteens
Many NSW public schools provide a canteen service for their students. School canteens can be run by Parents and Citizens’ Associations, by schools themselves or leased to private companies.
Fresh Tastes NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy requires all NSW government schools to provide a healthy, nutritious canteen menu. Implementation of the strategy is mandatory for government school canteens through the Nutrition in Schools Policy.
The Canteen Menu Planning Guide with Communication Kit, the Fresh Tastes Tool Kit, the Fresh Ideas for a Healthy School Canteen recipe file and the ‘Come into my Canteen’ DVD have been developed to assist schools in implementing the Strategy.
NSW Fresh Tastes @ School
The Fresh Tastes @ School NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy outlines the type and frequency of food and drink permitted for sale through canteens in NSW government schools. It also supports the Nutrition in Schools Policy, which identifies that any school program or activity relating to or involving food and drink should promote healthy eating and good nutrition to students.
However, these guidelines are not black and white and determining what’s allowed and what’s not can be complicated. Healthy Kids is here to help you wade your way through the guidelines so you can make the healthiest choices for your canteen menu.
Here’s a quick video snapshot on Fresh Tastes @ School and how it works in the canteen:
