Fresh Ideas for a Healthy School Canteen
SummaryThe Fresh Ideas folder was designed to give school canteen staff in NSW a central place to keep healthy recipes, promotional and marketing ideas, food safety and hygiene material and other food related hints and tips collected over time. The folder was sent to all NSW schools in August 2005, complete with a 'starter kit' of recipes and ideas organised into six sections. The 'Come into my canteen' DVD is a 20 minute documentary style DVD which sits in the back of the Fresh Ideas folder. It features a range of NSW school canteens that have successfully implemented the Fresh Tastes Strategy. On the DVD, canteen managers share their experiences of moving to a healthy canteen as they take the viewer on tour of their canteen and its daily operations. There are plenty of practical tips and ideas shared along the way. Volunteers, committee members, principals, students and teachers also add their perspective and talk about the role they have played in helping to make the canteen both healthy and viable. The DVD cannot be viewed on this web site. To obtain a copy, please email your request to the Fresh Tastes Team.
