St Gerard's Primary School WA

St Gerard's is in a low socio-economic area and consists of a majority of migrant families. Many of our families are not educated in what it means to eat healthily, and we therefore see many processed, packaged and sugary lunches/snacks. Not only is this not nutritious, but it also affects our students ability to focus and concentrate on classroom learning. Having our students participate in the Learn Your Fruit and Veg program would help them build the confidence to make healthy food choices for themselves. It would give students the opportunity to discover how fun and exciting healthy eating can be. We believe our whole school community would benefit, as students can share the recipes with their families and bring healthy meals into their homes.
