The ‘Water in Schools’ Submission:

For the last decade, District Health Boards have worked alongside schools to improve health outcomes for students.  Over 80% of primary schools have adopted ‘Water and Milk only’ protocols in schools to address issues of obesity, dental decay and habits that lead to Type 2 diabetes.  Research has shown that when schools move to being ‘water only’, it has benefited both teaching and learning and student health and wellbeing.

NZPF has been asked to write a submission to support all schools to adopt this policy.  Please complete the short survey to ensure your views are shared in the NZPF submission.
