At St Mary’s we celebrate Nude Food Day once a month to encourage healthy eating habits and foster an awareness of good environmental practices. It is an initiative we have adopted school wide from K-6, to encourage students and parents to eat well, live well, and eliminate all unnecessary packaging and wrapping that comes into our school environment. The idea is to reduce the amount of food waste, the amount of rubbish that goes into the bins, rubbish that becomes landfill and ends up polluting our planet. We have a very supportive parent community that have embraced this initiative and prepare wonderfully healthy and colourful lunches on these days with the flow on affect that these types of lunches are now becoming the normal everyday food our students are eating. This amazingly simple concept really empowers our students to acknowledge, participate and to create change. Our students have become extremely enthusiastic and proactive in making good healthy choices for their bodies and for our environment. They are proud of what they know, what they do and what they have achieved through making small changes with nude food and realise that the long term affects these good decisions will have in assisting to care for themselves and the future of ourenvironment.
