We value the health and wellbeing of our students, staff, volunteers and parents/carers. Burrendah Primary School aims to create a healthy, positive, safe and empowering environment promoting a positive lifestyle.
The Australian Dietary Guidelines and the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating establish the basis for a healthy eating approach. A key message of the guidelines is to enjoy a wide variety of nutritious foods every day.
Schools are required to adopt a whole school approach to healthy eating within the school community. These guidelines outline how our school environment will promote healthy eating within all aspects of our school context including our curriculum, eating times and canteen service. Our school will promote and utilise the food classification system or “traffic light system” in accordance with the Department of Education’s Healthy Food and Drink in Public Schools Policy.
