Another organic school canteen

Posted by kathryn in Miscellanea

News in the weekend herald of another organic school canteen, this time it’s Newtown High School of Performing Arts. They’re the first high school in NSW to have a completely organic canteen.

Soft drinks, ice-creams and junk food have been replaced by nori rolls, juices and fresh fruit.

In the last few years, the State government, through the NSW Canteen Association, has been actively encouraging school canteens to get healthier. While only a couple are going organic, many others are phasing out processed and junk foods that are high in sugar and saturated fat, and replacing them with healthier options. Some schools with a multicultural population are bringing in different ethnic food items, while others are involving students in food preparation.

There’s lots of information on the NSW Canteen Association website.
