Nude food is basically food that does not contain any packaging. We are hoping to reduce the amount of rubbish that goes to landfill by encouraging everyone to bring rubbish free lunches.

Most of the rubbish that is going into out bins at school are soft plastic wrappers, chip, chocolate, and snack food wrappers. We can no longer recycle these at school so all that plastic that goes into our school bins ends up in landfill where it will take hundreds of years to breakdown.

Another problem is that most of the litter found in our school ground are soft plastics coming from student snacks and lunches. This is making our school look messy. That is why we are encouraging Silverton students to bring rubbish free lunches.

To do this, we are running a Rubbish Free Lunch Competition. Each learning centre is trying to be the learning centre that brings the most rubbish free lunches. The learning centre that brought the most rubbish free lunches for Term Three was Learning Centre Two which are our Foundation students. They have chosen to have to have a Dance Party as their reward.

 Each week more and more students have been bringing rubbish free lunches and we are aiming to increase rubbish free lunches from a very low 5% of students in Term Three to 20 % of students by the end of Term Four. So please help us to do this by packing rubbish free lunches for your children.

Thanks for your support
