Nude Food

A long-term goal for us at SKiPPS is to reduce the amount of waste that we are sending to landfill.

One key way that we are addressing this issue, is to encourage all of our students to bring 'nude food' to school every day in their lunchboxes, ie. lunchboxes that produce no waste. 

In this newsletter we have included information to help families get prepared.

We are encouraging everyone to take up the Nude Food challenge.  Please get involved and help our community move towards a more sustainable future.

Each week we will announce a Nude Food champion class for the week with the highest number of students going nude and bringing in a lunchbox with no packaging and waste that will go to landfill.

Walktober – October is Walk to School Month!

Getting children in the habit of walking or riding is a great way to help them feel good and lead healthy active lifestyles. It also helps to relieve traffic pressures outside schools and improve safety as well as reduce our ecological footprints. 

Our school is participating in the community challenge and all classes have received calendars to record how active our students are. 

At the end of the month the calendars will be collected and prizes will be allocated out. The winning school will receive an active travel prize and the winning student a $250 voucher! You may remember that we won the smoothie bike back in 2019. Let’s see if we can be winners again this year. 

Remember ‘part way’ is ok! We understand it may not be feasible to always walk or ride. Try to set a goal each week or walk part way instead.
