Smart Choices - Healthy Food and Drink Supply Strategy for Queensland Schools

Healthy eating and regular physical activity are essential to promoting and maintaining good health. The Smart Choices - Healthy Food and Drink Supply Strategy for Queensland Schools is all about offering healthy food and drink choices to students in Queensland schools.

Smart Choices, which became mandatory in state schools from 1 January 2007, applies to all situations where food and drink is supplied in the school environment including tuckshops, vending machines, school excursions, school camps, fundraising, classroom rewards, school events such as celebrations and sports days, and food used in curriculum activities.

The Department of Education and Training and Queensland Health have evaluated the implementation of Smart Choices across Queensland's state schools. The findings and recommendations of the evaluation are detailed in the Smart Choices Evaluation Report (new window) 2.1M Adobe PDF document and Evaluation Summary (new window) 252k Adobe PDF document.
