Healthy School Canteens
School canteens have an important role to play in providing healthy food and drink choices for students.
A healthy school canteen supports a 'whole-of-school' approach to student health and wellbeing, and reinforces healthy eating messages taught in the classroom.
The NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy, launched in February 2017, supports a culture of healthy eating in school by:
- promoting and increasing student access to healthier foods and drinks
- decreasing student access to less healthy food and drinks
- supporting water as a drink of choice
- making a healthy choice an easy choice.
