As Term 1 draws to a close, it has been great  to reflect on the achievements and areas for of our Food Matters school lunch program. Students from Prep – Year 6 have enjoyed weekly meals, shared together in the newly renovated Wellbeing Hub

This term, we included a variety of nutritious options, including more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. We have encouraged students to at least try the meal and have a taste.  Some students are very proud that they now try lunch and eat most of it every time.

Staff enjoy sitting and eating with students, including our Cultural Arts visitors, specialist teachers, senior school teachers and wellbeing and support staff, who also pop over to sit and connect and engage with a healthy meal .

We have enjoyed working with a variety of senior school leaders, who have helped with the preparation of meals, serving and cleaning up.  The leadership and connection provides students with opportunities to grow their learning.

Next term we look forward to a new menu, offering students a variety of different dishes to try.  We will also embark on our first buddy class lunch, where primary classes will be joined by their secondary buddy class students to eat together.
