What Teachers have to say ...

"What a wonderful way to teach my kids about Nutrition - my classroom was so engaged with the music, storytelling and the wonderful superhero role models they could relate to! It incited some quality, robust discussions and also supported our English focus on recounts and personal connections, and aligned well with our Maths unit.

I LOVED seeing my kids dancing to the songs and they were so excited about answering the fun quizzes to see how much they knew! The lessons were SO easy to deliver - so much more engaging than anything I've seen in the classroom before - and all I had to do was follow the prompts and click play or print! I can't believe how much I learnt about nutrition myself too!

If you're an early years Teacher, I couldn't recommend this program enough.

Sharon, Prep Teacher - All Hallows Catholic School

“As head of the Primary Campus of Westside Christian College I have seen the great benefits to our students from our school’s participation in the Eat Smart B Active program and Healthiest School Awards.

As the Eat Smart B Active program has a strong whole school focus, its positive effects are maximised as children’s healthy choices positively impact on their peers, in which I believe creates a positive social change. The program motivates children to be involved and rewards them for making healthy choices. Furthermore, the program is sustainable and fits with our school’s culture. I highly recommend the program to any school that wishes to implement a quality sustainable program for the health curriculum and wellbeing of their school community.”

Graeme, Head of Primary - Westside Christian College

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for the tremendous support you have given us. The Eat Smart B Active program has had a positive impact on the whole school, teachers included."

Jan, Support Teacher - Literacy and Numeracy, Eagleby State School

“I believe the Eat Smart B Active program and Healthiest School Awards is such a positive way to improve children’s lives. Some of the children wouldn’t receive the messages about nutrition from anywhere else, and the employment of music with the show and the rewards challenge is such a fun way to engage children’s interest.

I noticed that children were talking more about nutrition and the five everyday food groups between each other, and the program was influencing individual behaviour by positive social factors. Children were even talking about Nutrition Labels and reminding each other to look at the labels.

I believe all schools and students should be involved in the Eat Smart B Active program and Healthiest School Awards so that the healthy message can reach all children, especially those whose parents aren’t educated about nutrition. The program aligns with the curriculum and I would definitely recommend the program to other schools.”

Nicole, HOC - Brassall State School

“The children in my class thoroughly enjoyed the program. I found that the understanding and knowledge of being healthy increased in my classroom. Students would come running into my classroom in the morning to show me their 5 point lunch.

Yesterday during eating duty some students were looking at the nutritional label on a chocolate coated … bar, the students were in a deep conversation on its nutritional value. I also noticed some students comparing the sugar and fat total of various lunch bars and determining the healthier choice.

Overall the program was a success! Thank you for the opportunity to implement this program. My students and I are so much more aware of what it means to be healthy.”

Annie, Year 3 Teacher - Silkstone State School

“The Eat Smart B Active and Healthiest School Awards program gets children thinking about what they’re eating and that food has a job – it’s what our bodies need to work properly.

I think the program is fabulous. To me, even if you can get one child in the class to start bringing in a piece of fruit when they didn’t before, it’s really valuable, especially in low socio-economic schools like ours.

Poor nutrition is too important an issue to keep talking about and not seeing results. I strongly believe all schools should have access to the Eat Smart B Active and Healthiest School Awards program to support the delivery of the Health Curriculum.”

Sonia, Year 4 Teacher - Ipswich East State School
