Healthy Eating: Snack and Lunch

At SMPS we encourage a balanced and nutritious snack and lunch. We have noticed an increase in 'Fast Food' products being delivered to students for their lunch. A poor diet can affect student's concentration and overall wellness. Deliveries also pose COVID safety challenges with non-essential visitors. We encourage families to plan ahead and select from healthier alternatives. Thank you for your support.

The advice below is based on the Government's Healthy Eating Advisory Service. 

For a healthy lunchbox, pick & mix something from each food group 1 - 6!

The Department of Health and Human Services' Pick & Mix 1-6 poster provides a range of ideas and practical tips to inspire families to create healthy school lunchboxes

Pick and mix one tasty option from each of the five core food groups to create a healthy lunchbox every day:

1. Fruit (e.g. fresh, frozen, pureed and canned in natural juice
2. Vegetables, legumes and beans
3. Milk, yoghurt, cheese and alternatives
4. Lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, and legumes/beans
5. Grain (cereal) foods
6. Plain water
