National Healthy Bones Week has been a national joint initiative between Dairy Australia and Osteoporosis Australia for the past 14 years, highlighting the important role of dairy in the development and maintenance of healthy bones and prevention of osteoporosis.
This year, National Healthy Bones Week focused on the benefits of consuming dairy for school lunches for primary school aged kids.
Improving children’s intake of calcium–rich foods, such as dairy foods, helps to support healthy bone development and maximize peak bone mass.
To celebrate National Healthy Bones Week, Dairy Australia and Osteoporosis Australia put the call out to primary school students to nominate ‘Australia’s best bone-building school canteen.’
AND THE WINNER IS....
Congratulations to the Walwa Primary School Canteen in Victoria who has won the title of Australia's best bone-building canteen and a prize of $2000! Grade 5 student Maddelin Quick submitted the winning vote and was rewarded with a $100 Rebel Sport voucher.
