Schools

Children and adolescents experience great physical, psychological and social development during the school years. To ensure that this development occurs normally, children and adolescents must balance their consumption of energy and particular nutrients with movement and physical activity.

Overweight and obesity is a serious medical condition, which is associated with a wide range of debilitating and life threatening conditions. Over the last 20 years, rates of obesity in children have risen greatly in many countries around the world. We now have a situation in Australia where one in four children are overweight or obese.

Implementation of The Fresh Tastes NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy guidelines is now mandatory for NSW Government schools (from term 1, 2005) and they are also strongly supported and endorsed by the Catholic and Independent Education Sectors. These guidelines ensure a healthy school canteen service for students and staff in NSW schools.

Nutrition Lab has worked with a Number of schools, both primary and secondary to review their canteen menus and incorporate the principles of healthy eating into their canteens to comply with these guidelines. We also believe a healthy school should endeavour to model the positive nutrition messages in all aspects of the curriculum, and our dietitians are experienced in providing additional services to your school including:

Nutrition presentations to students
Nutrition presentations to staff and parents
Hands-on workshops for parents
Supermarket tours for parents
Health Curriculum review
