Students are busy and need well-balanced meals and snacks to fuel their school day.

Healthy eating:

  • Facilitates normal growth and development
  • Improves academic performance
  • Helps meet nutrient and physical activity needs
  • Prevents nutrition-related illnesses
  • Helps achieve and maintain a healthy weight

There are nine key elements for a healthy nutrition environment at school. Put them into practice by starting small and work your way up.

Learning about healthy eating in the classroom is essential, but it's even more important to give our children opportunities to put what they learn into practice throughout the school day.
