"When I started at Murrumbeena PS in January 2006, both the
School Council and I wanted to change the existing standard
menu to a healthier, more nutritious menu, including cutting
out most of the junk food.
"I was given the opportunity to come up with a brand
new menu that would satisfy the School Council's aims, and
appeal to the children and families.
"In designing the new menu (in consultation with the
School Council), we minimised the junk food, removed all the
chips and soft drinks, introduced a whole range of healthy,
hearty meals and salads, and offered a wide range of natural
energy snacks rather than all sugar snacks, and started Milkshake
Mondays!
"With great support from the teachers in teaching the
kids about nutrition, and with some clever relabelling of
menu items to appeal to the kids, the new menu has been a
great success!"
