Canteen Policy 2007
"From 2005 the NSW Government endorsed Healthy School Canteen Strategy takes effect and is mandatory for all public schools. This strategy, also known as Fresh Tastes @ School, encourages canteens to serve and promote a wide range of healthy interesting and affordable food and drink choices for students and staff and to limit the sale of minimal nutritional value to two occasions per term."
