Yendarra’s story is extraordinary in the simple, yet revolutionary way that they have changed what their children drink and eat and the impact this has had not only on their children’s well-being, but also their families and wider community. Becoming a ‘water only’ school in 2006 and focusing on ‘real food’ they have dramatically reduced truancy, dental decay and skin infections and seen a significant change in classroom achievement and playground behaviour. Parents feel empowered and inspire Sue and her team every day in the healthy food and drink choices that they offer their children.
