From Last Week 

Nude Food 

What’s so special about nude food? Well nude food has no outer wrappings, no single use plastic and is just better for the environment. This reduces the amount of ‘stuff’ in lunch boxes that needs to go to landfill. Reusable containers are a much better option so you can bring your favourite snacks without all the extra soft plastics. Did you know that on average Australians use 147kgs of plastic per person each year and only 14% of that is recycled!?

Nude food encourages students to eat healthier and to take more care of the environment. This term we are wanting to encourage families and the community to join us in extending our nude food program from morning fruit and veggie snacks to recess and lunch. To make this easier in the first week of every month on the newsletter we will include lunch box ideas. With fruit snacks, recess and lunch recipes that have fruits and veggies that are in season.

Stick Shortage

Walking through the streets with my dog over the holidays, I noticed just how many gardens have piles of sticks from pruning trees and clearing gardens. I must admit that it is possible that I may have been on the lookout for sticks after our Foundation students informed me of a stick shortage at school… If you find yourself with sticks that you don’t need, please keep us in mind. We welcome most sticks to the yard - we only ask that they are not from poisonous plants (eg. no Oleander please) and that they do not have anything else attached to them (such as nails or netting). Sticks can be delivered to any part of the yard at any time that suits you.
