So, how can you get involved to promote a healthy lunchbox culture at your school?
Teachers:
- Find out who your school’s Fresh Tastes Coordinator is and join your school’s Fresh Tastes action group.
- Access newsletter articles from Fresh Tastes and send them to the person in the school who publishes your school newsletter.
See links above.
- Use the Fresh Tastes healthy lunchbox flyers, grab n go shopping list, posters and PowerPoint slides at your next school family orientation or information session. See links above.
- Organise a healthy lunchbox workshop for parents from one of our Fresh Tastes partners. Contact us to get the info.
- Use the Food&ME resources and the Making Healthier Choices How-to Guide to educate your students about healthier school lunches.
- Support your school’s student leadership team to run a Nude Food Day competition.
Parents:
- Get together with other parents and compile a cookbook with simple, healthy recipes and ideas for children’s lunchboxes.
- Keep an eye out for any parent workshops the school is running and go along to learn some new ideas.
- Help your child participate in any waste-free lunch days at school by packing as little waste as possible into their lunchbox. Check out the links above – there’s heaps of ideas!
- Try swapping one packet food in the lunchbox for a fresh, healthy option each week. Always include a vegetable in the lunchbox. See links above for ideas.
