HEHA - Schools and Early Childhood Education Services (ECE Services)
Children and young people are a priority group for HEHA - acknowledging the important links between food, health and learning.
The food and nutrition environment at schools and ECE Services is a very important one, especially since children often consume at least a third of their daily intake there.
Making healthy foods and drinks readily available within the education environment will encourage students to make healthy choices.
How to access information and support:
