"One of our most recent achievements, and the reason why
we believe we are the most improved school canteen of the
year, is the successful removal of lollies, chips and soft
drinks from our canteen.
This has been a huge undertaking, and received full support
from the principal, school council, staff, parents and students,
and we now offer our students a fun and healthy menu which
allows them to actively make good food choices which we hope
will help establish good eating habits for the rest of their
lives.
We are the only school in the Alpine Shire to receive an
award for participating in the 'Kids - Go for you life' program,
recognising our delivery of healthy canteen food and promotion
of 'less screen time and more activity time'. This is wonderful
acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication shown by the
Parent Club and school community, and a very proud moment
in the history of the school's canteen.
Recent funding has also allowed us to purchase a new oven,
blenders and a food processor so the canteen can open more
often and so we can extend the menu to include more hot food
during winter and cool healthy fruit drinks during summer.
Equipment upgrades and menu improvements have meant that
the canteen has become an even more viable service for local
families, and a vital educational tool in helping students
learn about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle."
- Angela Toniolo, Secretary, Parent Club
