Queensland Kids Fresh-Net  
All schools that value and promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle incorporating good nutrition are invited to join the Queensland Kids Fresh-Net.

The Queensland Kids Fresh-Net vision is for all Queensland children to live a healthy lifestyle incorporating a fresh and nutritious diet.

By joining the network teachers, parents and students have a unique opportunity to access new resources as well as share information, ideas and successful strategies.

Queensland Kids Fresh-Net is a model which enables schools to draw on system curriculum materials which are already available to them, including Green & Healthy Schools, Fresh for Kids and Life Education Queensland, in order to improve approaches to promoting health and nutrition within the school community.

The program incorporates a number of sub-programs to cover school, classroom and tuckshop activities, home & lunch box, and links with independent fruit and vegetable retailers.
