As part of our effort to reduce our waste and encourage our school community to think about the amount of packaging they throw out, Toorak Primary School encourages Nude Food lunches. This aligns with our Sustainability Policy that states, “To continue the development of a Waste Wise ethic within the whole school community; to provide and maintain a healthy and aesthetically pleasing learning environment through the reduction of waste and litter; to practise waste wise principles of reduce, reuse and recycle; to reduce the cost of waste and litter management”. The Green Team members in each class check for Nude Food lunches on a daily basis. Each student with Nude Food is awarded 25 house points. The class with the most Nude Food participants at the end of each week is announced at assembly by our Green Team Captains and awarded the Nude Food trophy for the week.
Handy hints on how to make your food nude:
- Put your child’s snack and lunch in a Tupperware container.
- We recommend you label all your child’s Tupperware in case it gets lost.
- If you wish to wrap your child’s sandwich, use a tea-towel or some cloth.
- Buy a lunchbox with compartments, available at department stores.
- Think about foods that have natural packaging like bananas and nuts.
Thank you for your support and helping us to create a sustainable future.
