Here’s cheers to a smart step

STOKED! Federal State School students are helping save the planet by adopting BioCups in their tuckshop.

By JONATHON HOWARD

FEDERAL State School students were excited with the introduction of re-usable BioCups for the school’s tuckshop.
The BioCups was just a small step in the school’s committment to supporting the environment as well as promoting the health and well-being of students.
The school’s investment in BioCups will help reduce waste while at the same time allow students to have freshly prepared healthy drinks.
“Our tuckshop has introduced a whole food philosophy and provides students with healthy food options including fruit smoothies, homemade popsicles and fun kid-friendly salads every week,” Bronwyn Rolstone-Wood, the school’s administration officer, said: “So far this term students have enjoyed chop chop noodle, rainbow and mean bean pasta salads.
“The new healthy options are very affordable and have been a huge success.
Federal State School is located 10 minutes north of Cooroy and has a total of 93 students.
If you would like to visit the school and see how they can make a difference in your child’s world please call Bronwyn on 5480 8600 to make an appointment or email admin@federalss.eq.edu.au.
