The SEALS Committee have noticed a lot of rubbish amongst the playground. Most of that rubbish being plastic wrappers and packaging. As a team, we’ve discussed different ways we can minimise rubbish waste at SFCC. We have decided to bring back NUDE FOOD DAY!

We will be starting Nude Food Day in Term 3. Each week, the SEALS Committee will pick a day for class and pastoral teachers to check if students have nude food. Nude Food Day will be a day randomly selected each week!

If students have all contents in their lunch box with no plastic packaging, they will receive three house points on their chart/diary. 

There are also class rewards up for grabs! Each week when nude food is checked, for every 5 students in the class that have nude food, the class will receive a ticket in the nude food raffle. For example, if one class has 16 students with nude food, that class will receive 3 raffle tickets for that week into the Nude Food Raffle.

The Nude Food raffle will see one class win a prize towards the end of Term 3. 

WHAT IS NUDE FOOD?

Nude food is simply food that is not wrapped in foil, plastic or commercial packaging. The best type of nude food consists mainly of fresh food, so that it is healthy and nutritious PLUS environmentally friendly. Promoting Nude Food empowers our students to make conscious choices about what they eat, and encourages them to think about their impact on the environment (and their health). You might be amazed with how enthused your child can become on this! Please ensure that any containers are labelled with your child’s name and class so if they are misplaced, they can be returned. 

HOW TO PACK A NUDE FOOD LUNCH BOX

Cutlery from home is better than throwaway plastic cutlery.
Plastic or metal drink bottles are recommended for refilling water.
Reusable containers for putting all snacks and lunches into.
Lunch boxes that have separate sections are helpful.

THINGS TO AVOID

Zip-loc or plastic bags, plastic wrap or aluminium foil.
Single use plastic cutlery.
Pre-packaged food ie. biscuits, snack bars and chips
