International Chefs Day - inspiring kids to eat healthy food

Schools in the Nambucca Valley are being invited to join Nestlé’s International Chefs Day activities on Monday, October 22, in the name of healthy eating.

The day will see schools from across Australia teaching children about the benefits of healthy eating and physical activity through the Healthy Active Kids program, in partnership with Nestlé Professional and leading chefs from the Australian Culinary Federation.

Wellness Program and Sponsorship Manager Rashna Shroff, said the plan was to team up with schools across Australia to help teach kids about the importance of healthy eating.

“We want to ensure the next generation lives a healthy, happy and active lifestyle which is brought to life through our Healthy Active Kids program,” Ms Shroff said.

“International Chefs Day is about inspiring healthy and sustainable relationships with food from a young age. Teachers are an incredibly important part of this conversation and we hope International Chefs Day and the resources we’ve created provide teachers with everything they need to ensure the day is a learning success.”

To celebrate the day, Nestlé is giving away 20 Classroom Kitchen Packs including chopping boards, safety knives and peelers, as well as a class set of Health Active Kids portion plates and aprons. Teachers can enter on behalf of their class on the Healthy Active Kids website.

The Healthy Active Kids program includes free teaching units, lesson plans and a range of educational resources. For more information, visit www.healthyactivekids.com.au.
