Church Resources understands following School Canteen Guidelines can be challenging, especially when each state and territory has its own guidelines. The good news is, they are made based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines, and there are many resources available to help schools.
The Australian Dietary Guidelines defines what a suitable serve sizing is and provides recommendations on how many serves children need from each of the five core food groups.
Most states and territories follow a traffic light system. In the traffic light system, foods and drinks are classified as Green, Amber or Red. New South Wales is the only state that is different with their guidelines classifying food and beverages as Everyday or Occasional.
To support our Education members, Church Resources are running a FREE Foodservices webinar on November 4 and will be providing an in-depth examination of the school canteen guidelines in Australia, as well as tips on how to apply these guidelines to your school. To wrap up the discussion, we will look into procurement solutions available to you today that provide value to your school canteen. To register, please click here.
Hosted by our Foodservice Ambassador, Dr Karen Abbey, who understands first-hand the Foodservices challenges in the Education sector.
