Reclaim the Lunchbox
Around 25 parents and staff attended a presentation on nutrition and children’s lunches and snacks. The presenter was Linden Clarke from Nutrition Australia. Linden has given us a lot of information to share with families. She is also working with Jackie, our Canteen Manager, to review our current Canteen menu.
Our school was one of the first in the state to do a major overhaul of its Canteen menu in 2004. At this time things such as confectionary, soft drinks and chips were removed from the Canteen menu. We were one of the pilot schools that implemented the changes at that time.
