HFD_Toolkit-Schools_mar21.pdfHealthy Food & Drink Toolkit
Healthy diets grow strong bodies and contribute to healthy lives. Our students eat much of their kai each weekday in schools. We know that their attendance, attention and behaviour improve in education settings where healthy eating is accepted practice. You can promote a supportive environment by developing a healthy food and drink policy with help from your students, tumuaki, whānau, canteen staff and wider community.

Learning Progressions Framework
The Ministry of Education has been exploring a model of curriculum design based on learning progressions in health and physical education. One of these, the progression for food and nutrition, has been developed to date as a proof of concept. This development involved subject-matter experts working with schools to clarify the key concepts involved, try out rich learning activities, and collect authentic student work samples that could be used as the basis for the exemplars in the progression.
