WA Kick Start to Crunch&Sip® 2010
Kick Start to Crunch&Sip is on again for 2010! Cancer Council WA and Diabetes WA is encouraging primary schools to Kick Start Crunch&Sip at the start of the new school year. Crunch&Sip is a set break to eat fruit or vegetables and drink water in the classroom, with students re-fueling during the morning or afternoon. There are currently nearly 300 certified Crunch&Sip schools located in WA.
Schools can allocate a week or a few days in Term One to trial a Crunch&Sip break or join the expanding list of certified Crunch&Sip schools. Certified schools can use this week to re-invigorate the program and promote the benefits of eating fruit and vegetables and drinking water to the school community.
For more details, download the Kick Start to Crunch&Sip background information. To help schools get the word out to parents, students and school staff, a number of support materials are available, along with lesson ideas. On registration, schools will receive free resources such as Crunch&Sip bookmarks, brochures and posters and more! To receive resources, download the registration form and return a completed form by March 12. Also available is a Crunch&Sip tally chart to monitor the fruit, vegetable and water intake of students. If your school is interested in inviting local media for coverage of Kick Start to Crunch&Sip events, download the media guide.
