RIGHT BITE

At Hackham East PS we follow the SA Right Bite Food and Drink standards and in line with this allow only water in student drink bottles to be consumed throughout the school day.

Please support us with this by ensuring children do not come to school with cordial or similar in drink bottles.

We know that children and young people are more likely to achieve their learning potential when they have access to healthy food and drink options.

The Department for Education has revised the Right Bite standards to meet the Australian Dietary Guidelines and the new Wellbeing SA nutrition classifications for schools.

The revised standards are recommended as best practice for food and drinks sold or provided at all public schools and may be applied across various school settings, including out of school hours care.

This means you may see some healthier changes in the food and drinks sold or provided at our school.

Note that the standards do not apply to food and drinks:

• brought from home for personal consumption.
• supplied in preschools, children’s centres and long day care.
