The Regional Strategy Project

The project includes the following focus areas:

• Expanding the School Breakfast Program to new schools across the state, and enabling greater support and communication networks to and between existing schools;

• Facilitating the Food Sensations® nutrition and hands-on cooking program within school and community settings and delivering Educator Training opportunities in regional and remote areas;

• Supporting the implementation of the Choose to Move physical activity program to regional and remote schools.

The goals of the Regional Strategy are to:

• Improve the health and well-being of regional school children vulnerable to poor diet by increasing the availability of healthy food.

• Improve the food choice and food preparation skills of disadvantaged groups, via the provision of nutrition education and practical food skills.

• Improve the physical activity opportunities for school children through the provision of equipment and teacher support.
