A highlight of the trip was attending a canteen managers network meeting, bringing together representatives from five local schools. It was a great opportunity to hear firsthand about regional experiences, challenges and ideas for creating healthier school food environments.
These conversations are an important part of our whole-of-school approach, which looks beyond the canteen to consider how classrooms, school policies, families and the wider school community can all help make healthy eating part of everyday school life.
A big thank you to everyone who took the time to meet with us and share their experiences. We loved being out in the South West and connecting with the people working to create healthier school communities.
