In 2016, we registered for the Healthy Together Program.
Werribee Primary School has been a Kids - Go For your Life school since 2008. We encourage healthy eating and physical activity in children.
Every year we have participated in National Walk Safely to School Day to promote regular physical activity.
At Werribee Primary School there is a fruit or vegetable break at 10:00 every morning. They are also encouraged to bring a re-fillable water bottle every day to place on their table to enable them to drink water throughout the day.
We encourage our students to choose healthy, rubbish free food for their snacks and lunch.
Litter Free Lunches: students eat inside their classroom after recess and lunch breaks to reduce the amount of rubbish in the yard.
Benefits of litter free school lunches include:
- students eating healthier lunches
- less waste being produced and sent to landfill
- cheaper lunches, as food items bought in bulk are less expensive than pre-packaged products
- a reduction in waste collection and disposal costs to the school
- a cleaner school
