PUPIL FREE DAY

STRAW FREE

Fact: By 2050 there will be more straws in our oceans than fish.

Let's protect (in our own little way) our beautiful creatures of the deep and say NO to straws.

HEALTHY EATING

Strategies that you can try at home include:

substituting sugary drinks with water at home and in lunchboxes. Adding slices of fresh fruit, herbs or vegetables to the water jug in the refrigerator adds to the taste especially during transition periods.
including children from an early age in meal planning and preparation. Planning meals together, compiling shopping lists, including children in the shopping trip and allowing children to assist in the preparation and cooking of meals spikes interest, motivation and creates healthier eating options.
encouraging older children and young people to plan a dinner menu for a day with support to compile a shopping list, purchase and prepare meals
beginning the journey by planning a healthy eating day together once a week, fortnight or month.
consulting children as to the contents in their school lunches and allowing them to assist in shopping and preparation where possible.
planning and creating a small garden at home for growing fruit and vegetables. The greater the responsibility and participation given to children the more likely they are to eat what they have helped to grow.
modelling good eating habits at home and limiting access to the type and amounts of highly processed foods available such as chips, chocolate, lollies and biscuits.
providing healthy snacks such as fruit and vegetable wedges on an open platter.
visiting the local shops and supermarkets and talking to your child about the foods being offered for sale and their value. Downloading the free FoodSwitch app will assist in working out the nutritional value of foods that do not display the Health Star Rating (HSR).
talking to your children about food sources and how the food they eat reaches the table.
focusing on the outside areas of the supermarket when shopping. These are the areas where fresh foods, meats and dairy products are more likely to be on display.
