Early Childhood & Outside School
Implementing healthy habits from a young age is key to setting up children for a life trajectory of optimal growth and reduced risk of developing chronic conditions later on in life.
Health-related behaviours have been described to track from early ages to childhood, and adolescence.

Reclaim the Lunchbox
Proudly supported by NSW Health, Reclaim the Lunchbox is a workshop designed to help parents get the lunchbox right from the first day.
Schools often tell us that parents try to make lunchboxes healthy for their child, but often get it wrong. One ideal opportunity to get all new parents together and clarify what is and what isn’t healthy is Kinder Orientation evening – to ensure lunchboxes are right from the very first day.
NNSW staff can visit your school and inspire your parents to provide healthy lunchboxes and support your school’s efforts in instilling healthy habits and optimal learning.
