Our school has registered for the SWAP IT Healthy Lunchbox Program.

SWAP IT is an evidence-based, healthy lunchbox program for primary schools. The program supports parents and carers to SWAP what is packed in their child’s lunchbox from sometimes foods to everyday foods. SWAP IT is:

• Free – no cost for schools to take part. 
• Easy for Schools – our resources complement the existing curriculum. 
• Easy for Parents – visual inspiration to make lunchboxes faster and healthier with no extra cost. 
• Proven to work – SWAP IT enhances the nutritional quality of lunchbox foods. Parents love it, and teachers see significant benefits in the classroom. 

The SWAP IT recommendations have been developed based on the latest evidence-based government nutrition guidelines. 

SWAP IT involves sending out weekly messages for one term to your parent/carer community. The messages are created by SWAP IT and ready to share, providing ideas and tips for packing healthier lunchboxes. Messages are shared via this school's newsletter and may also be sent out via School Bytes.
