Freshsnap - Fresh School Nutrition Advisory Program

Nutrition education isn’t one-size-fits-all 🍎📚

For younger students, the focus is on building positive attitudes and confidence around food. As they grow, they become ready to develop simple, practical skills like putting together their own snacks and lunchboxes 🥪✨

We recently visited Tuart Hill Primary School to deliver a Year 6 classroom incursion for students preparing for high school next year. Together, we explored the 5 core food groups and how combining them helps fuel growth, energy, and concentration ⚡🧠

Students then brought their learning to life by creating their own balanced lunchboxes using our food models, each including at least three different food groups!

Our freshSNAP.ed resource are designed to follow a scope and sequence, building on skills and learning and ensuring lessons are age appropriate. Explore our resource for FREE today on our website https://buff.ly/LZ7G614

HAPPY P&C DAY WA!
Today we say THANK YOU to WA’s amazing P&Cs!! You all contribute so much to our schools and communities. Your dedication and passion are incredible and we’re so grateful to each and every one of you.

At last count, on average WA P&Cs donated an estimated total of $15 million and nearly 500,000 volunteer hours each year to Western Australian public school communities. Today, we recognise and acknowledge that each hour volunteered and dollar donated goes towards outstanding school experiences for our kids.

We encourage school communities to get on board, share the P&C light, and let your local P&C know that you appreciate all the amazing things they do.
