School canteens have the opportunity to be involved in the promotion of fruit and vegetables to the students and teachers during Fruit ‘n’ Veg Week. School canteens can support curriculum activities by providing nutritious meals and snacks throughout the week.

Here are some ways your canteen can be involved:

• Download the 2009 Fruit ‘n’ Veg Week Information Booklet (PDF 2MB) for ideas for your canteen.

On registration, your canteen will receive recipe ideas, ‘frequent buyer’ cards for students, stamps and stickers, and the opportunity to enter student and canteen competitions. We are also offering a prize for the best soup recipe. To register, contact WA School Canteen Association on 9264 4999.
