Did you know that where you place food in your tuckshop can influence what students choose?

Small changes to your tuckshop layout and food displays can make healthier options more visible, appealing and easier for students to select, without changing your menu!

Our NEW Healthier Tuckshops resource explores the power of positioning and how you can use your tuckshop setup to encourage healthier choices and make a positive difference to students’ eating habits. 💚

What a fantastic afternoon at Yeronga State High School yesterday! 🙌

It was wonderful to see everyone so engaged and eager to explore hot vending, and the opportunities it could offer school tuckshops and canteens. From practical ideas to improving convenience for students and creating new income streams, the afternoon was filled with great questions, conversations and inspiration.

A huge thank you to Stacey and Yvonne for generously sharing their knowledge, experience and insights, and for their wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciate you opening your doors and showing us how hot vending can work in a school setting.

We love bringing tuckshop convenors, staff and school communities together to learn, share ideas and discover new ways to help their tuckshops thrive. 💚

Food nourishes more than our bodies. It is connection, culture, learning and enjoyment.

It contributes to our physical health, mental wellbeing and relationships.

We are proud to be supporting Nutrition Australia's National Nutrition Week 2026. A time to celebrate the role food plays in bringing people together while advocating for a future where everyone can access nutritious, affordable and sustainable food.

Together, we can create a future where everyone is connected and nourished.
