Healthy Eating

School health nurses play a crucial role in promoting healthy eating among primary-age children.

They provide advice on health choices, including healthy eating. They work closely with schools, parents, carers, and other health professionals to support children in developing healthy eating habits. This includes encouraging a varied diet, setting regular mealtimes, and minimising unhealthy snacks.

By promoting healthy eating, school health nurses help to improve children’s overall health and well-being, which is essential for their academic success and long-term health outcomes
