School food research ignites sit-down lunch pilot

An innovative school lunch program serving fresh and tasty meals is being piloted by Annesley Junior School, in collaboration with renowned Adelaide eatery Africola Canteen and researchers at Flinders University.

Working with one of Adelaide’s top chefs, the school lunch will role model to students healthy food choices and that stopping to eat together can be a valuable part of the school day.

With almost half of the food consumed by Australian children at school coming from unhealthy foods, the one-off event will showcase how South Australian schools can partner with local eateries to support families and deliver benefits for children’s learning, wellbeing and enjoyment of food.
