Why your involvement matters
A whole-school approach to healthy eating works best when education and community advocacy come together.
Students’ food choices are shaped by the world around them, which is why positive role modelling within the school community is so important. Encouraging healthy habits at school helps set students up for lifelong wellbeing.
FreshSNAP supports school leadership teams with simple, effective strategies to build a healthier school environment.
Nourishing our students
Good nutrition can contribute to improved behaviour and learning outcomes. School leadership can support this by:
-
Modelling healthy eating behaviours to set a positive example.
-
Develop a clear healthy food and drink policy for your school.
-
Integrate nutrition education into the curriculum.
-
Engage families and the community to reinforce health promoting messages.
-
Ensure the school canteen offers nutritious options.
Let’s grow healthier school communities!

Yes. As of January 2024 the Healthy Food and Drink Policy has been incorporated into the Department of Education’s Student Health in Public Schools Policy. You can view the requirements at Student Health in Public Schools procedures, Appendix B. Healthy Food and Drink.

Healthy eating supports students’ physical health, concentration, behaviour, and academic performance. Schools play a key role in shaping lifelong habits through consistent messaging, positive food environments, and role modelling healthy behaviours.
Begin by assessing your current food environment including canteen menus, classroom practices, and policies. Then, consult with key staff and stakeholders to identify goals and priorities.
Contact the freshSNAP team to arrange a FREE consultation where we can help you develop a Healthy School Program tailored to the needs of your school and provide you with the training and resources required to achieve your goals.
To successfully improve the school food environment, it’s important to involve everyone including students, staff, and families. Communicate the benefits clearly, invite input, and offer practical resources to support the transition.
