"… In 2005, a community based enterprise called SMART Cuisine
re-opened the Westall Primary School canteen that had been
non-operational for 20 years.. SMART Cuisine is managed
by 3 Indian women and 1 African woman.. Initially once a
week, the enterprise now provides healthy lunches on a fee
for service basis to the school every Wednesday and Friday
[and has expanded to other schools in the area]..
"Government funding has allowed SMART Cuisine to develop
a highly subsidised healthy eating promotion to local schools...
[involving] information sessions designed to be highly interactive
and fun... followed by free healthy lunches..
"The establishment of SMART Cuisine is a [joint] effort
between the City of Kingston, AMES, Oakes Mothers' Club, Westall
PS, Department for Victorian Communities and Department for
Families, Communities and Indigenous Affairs."
