Apples Ain't Apples Presentations: Terms 1 and 2, 2008

Newcastle Market's Fresh Approach Team have been kept busy during terms 1 and 2, visiting over 40 schools.

Team members conducted an educational presentation that included the health benefits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables and explained the journey the produce takes from paddock to plate. The fresh apple sampling was a winner with students taste-testing three different varieties of apple, which were generously donated by T.Garrett and Son, a wholesaler within the Newcastle Markets.

Other program sponsors Australian Bananas, National Foods and Chep make these school visits possible.

Here's what some teacher evaluations had to say:

'This was a fantastic supplement to our healthy living unit', Metford Primary School.

  'Well presented, informative and entertaining', Tanilba Bay Primary School.     

'The children enjoyed the fun presentation, especially the taste-testing and identifying the fruit. I think it will

motivate them to eat more fresh food', Argenton Primary School.
