OUR SCHOOL PROGRAM
All schools that value and promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle incorporating good nutrition, are invited to join the Fresh Approach Schools Program. Our aim is for all children to live a healthy lifestyle, including a fresh and nutritious diet. By joining the program, teachers, parents and students will have the unique opportunity to access new resources as well as share information, ideas and successful strategies.
The Fresh Approach Schools Program enables schools to draw on system curriculum materials which are already available to them, as well as other useful programs, such as Fresh For Kids, to improve approaches to promoting health and nutrition within the school community.
The program incorporates school, classroom and tuckshop activities, home & lunch box, and links with independent fruit and vegetable retailers.
The program is provided FREE OF CHARGE to all Hunter and North Coast Schools.
