Benefits of being a Crunch&Sip® school

The Crunch&Sip® program is currently being rolled out across the South Australia with many primary schools being invited to join the program.  A letter and a fax-back form will be sent to the school principal and health and PE coordinators.  Many schools already have a snack time in the classroom, and those schools will also be invited to take advantage of the many resources available to Crunch&Sip® registered schools.
