A case study

Junction Park State School, Annerley, Qld

“Our school held a healthy lunchbox day with the help of Nutrition Australia.

Newsletter articles, media releases, prize ideas, guest speaker suggestions and the running sheet made it all so easy.

The healthy lunchbox day helped our students and their families value the importance of eating nutritious foods at school. Our teachers noticed a difference too.

I would encourage all schools to try this great promotion idea.”
