Home Economics Victoria's Fruit + Veg Program is a partnering program of Kids - 'Go for your life' managed by Cancer Council Victoria and Diabetes Australia - Vic.
The program aims to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables among Victorian primary school aged children. Free state-wide professional development workshops are held throughout term 1 and teachers are invited to learn more about the program and receive a comprehensive pack of VELS linked teaching resources.
The central focus of the program is Fruit + Veg Week where students can take part in a range of whole school activities focusing on healthy eating and practical cooking.
