Canteen

The Montpellier canteen is open every school day for morning recess and lunch. Children can purchase healthy snacks during recess and lunch.

The School Council monitors the Canteen and the School supports a healthy choice menu. In line with the Governments Go For Your Life program, Montpellier has introduced a Traffic Light system for the Canteen Menu. Green foods are great foods, Amber foods are ok, but not to be eaten everyday and Red foods need to be eaten in moderation, only on the odd occasion.

Go For Your Life has made a significant investment in encouraging healthy eating and physical activity and promoting healthy weight. From kitchen gardens in schools to promoting a healthy body image in teenagers, from diabetes prevention programs to programs designed to keep seniors healthy and active, ‘Go for your life' is engaging people and communities across Victoria in the challenge of adopting healthier lifestyles and preventing chronic diseases.

Raising awareness about the importance of healthy eating, physical activity and healthy weight is a key element of ‘Go for your life'. The ‘Go for your life' communications activities provide Victorians with information about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity, to support people to make positive lifestyle changes.
There is a ‘no soft drink' and ‘no nut policy' at the canteen.
