Healthy School Canteens Strategy
School canteens have an important role to play in providing healthy food and drink choices for students.
A healthy school canteen supports a 'whole-of-school' approach to student health and wellbeing, and reinforces healthy eating messages taught in the classroom.
The NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy supports a culture of healthy eating in school by:
- promoting student access to healthier foods and drinks
- decreasing student access to less healthy food and drinks
- supporting water as a drink of choice
- making a healthy choice an easy choice.
School canteens will promote freshly-made foods and only stock packaged goods that have a minimum 3.5 star Health Star Rating.
A new Healthy School Canteens Strategy replaces the current “traffic light” system in schools, which experts have found to be overly complex and too narrow in its consideration of nutrition. The new strategy offers simpler, easier to understand menus consistent with the latest Australian Dietary Guidelines.
Under the Healthy School Canteens Strategy:
- fruits, vegetables, sandwiches, salads, pasta, and stir fries will make up at least 75 per cent of the menu
- occasional foods, will make up the remaining 25 per cent, need to have a Health Star Rating of 3.5 stars or higher
- pies, sausage rolls and pizzas that are above the 3.5 star rating can be available at all times
- cake stalls or fundraising initiatives will not be affected
Providing healthier options in school canteens is one of the ways the NSW Government can achieve its target to reduce childhood obesity by five per cent by 2025.
Obesity has significant health impacts for children with around one in five NSW children between the ages of five and 16 being overweight or obese. The new strategy stipulates that food sold in school canteens is healthy for children.
