What's on this February – April

Healthy Lunchbox Week 2023

Healthy Lunchbox Week is almost here, kicking off this Sunday 5th February! 

As an annual initiative of Nutrition Australia, Healthy Lunchbox Week aims to help families access credible lunchbox nutrition information and recipes, setting them up for the year ahead. Around one third of children’s daily food intake comes from their lunchbox so let’s make sure it counts. Use this time to build your bank of lunchbox inspiration and know-how.

Featuring a range of user friendly recipes, fact sheets and guides, videos, teacher resources and supporting information, click here to visit The Healthy Lunchbox Week website and to get involved!
