Have you ever wondered How You Can Help Improve Your Canteen or Tuckshop? Or thought about it, then been told by other’s its all too hard. Perhaps you have even tried but felt like you’re banging your head against a brick wall?
Then know you are not alone.
We’ve been travelling Australia in our Big Green Bus, Kaley for over 12 months now, empowering kids to make better food choices. We’ve visited almost 50 preschools and schools, and reached over 10,000 children and parents. During this time, we have seriously lost count of how many times we’ve been asked if we can help improve how a schools canteen or tuckshop works or change the menu to healthier options. Unfortunately, we haven’t been resourced to take on these problems. It’s been a real source of frustration for us because tackling canteens is so logically the next progression after empowering kids with knowledge about better choices in The Mad Food Science Program.
This year, we are super excited to have found a partner in My School Connect who is able to fill this gap for us. Now when someone asks if we can help, we no longer have to say No, we’re sorry, we can’t. We can say, Yes we can. Let us introduce you to our National Partner My School Connect. We’ve asked Julia to tell you a little bit about how they can help you with your canteen and other functions such as the uniform shop and fundraisers.
