How the program works

Participating schools nominate a time during class for students to eat an extra serve of vegetables or fruit and sip on water to support good health, help with learning and concentration in the classroom and encourage building healthy habits into the daily routine. Crunch&Sip® is an in-class break and does not replace recess or lunch. 

Pack your favourite vegetables and fruits, and don't forget your clean bottle of water each day.
