The 2010 Sydney Markets ‘Fresh for Kids’ Canteen Campaign challenges schools from New South Wales and the Australia Capital Territory in a competition to eat more fruit and vegetables.

2010 Participating Schools

Canteen Campaign Recipe Ideas Booklet

This year Sydney Markets have teamed up with Healthy Kids Association and the NSW Cancer Council to bring Fruit ‘n’ Veg Month! While students are learning about fruit and veg in the classroom, the Canteen Campaign is a great way to get kids excited about healthy options available at your canteen.

The Canteen Campaign is designed to encourage kids to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and to purchase them from their school canteen. The Campaign commences Monday 30 August, 2010 and concludes Friday 24 September, 2010.

During the Campaign, students who make the healthy choice and purchase fresh fruit and/or vegetables from their school canteen will instantly receive a sticker card containing a large sticker to keep and a token sticker which must be placed on the entry form. Once students have completed their entry form, they return it to their canteen where they will instantly receive a Fresh for Kids crazy straw. On doing so they are eligible to enter the draw to win some fantastic prizes.

This year the canteen campaign is sponsored by our friends at Cartoon Network and their TV show CHOWDER. Chowder is a young apprentice to a magical chef. His days are filled with running errands, helping around the kitchen, and learning how to turn some of the weirdest ingredients you've ever heard of into some of the best dishes you've ever tasted. Chowder is known for slicing, dicing and constantly causing trouble in the kitchen. Hold on to your apron … you're in for some laughs!

This year’s major prizes include:

1st Prize

• One family holiday to the Gold Coast, including return flights for up to four people from the winner’s nearest capital city, airport transfers, three nights’ accommodation and entry passes to Wet ‘n’ Wild, Warner Bros. Movie World and Sea World.

2nd Prize

• 3 x Chowder-branded laptops

3rd Prize

• 5 x Chowder-branded Apple iPod shuffles

4th Prize

• 10 x Cartoon Network DVD packs of five various Cartoon Network DVDs

5th Prize

• 20 x Chowder prize packs including a Chowder-branded apron, shopping bag, sticker sheet, temporary tattoos and notebook.

NOTE: Even if there is no canteen at your school, you can still take part in the canteen campaign. Instead of rewarding students for making purchases at the canteen, reward them for bringing fresh fruit and vegetables from home.
