Schools and Groups
“Schools and community groups have a unique opportunity to improve national health by creating an environment or culture that supports healthier food choices at a local level.”
“Lea has run a seminar for a large group of Canterbury Principals and it was extremely well received and followed up by many. As part of our staff development programme at school, Lea ran a wonderful session, again with extremely positive feedback. Because we were concerned at the eating habits of many of our children, we held a parent meeting where Lea discussed a whole range of issues to do with children's dietary needs and exercise. This was attended by 50 plus parents who found it most informative. There has certainly been a great deal of followup discussion since and even the school lunch menu is being revised. I have no hesitation in recommending Lea as a consultant. I have always found her services practical, common sense and extremely helpful. ” -Sue Ashworth Principal, Paparoa Primary School
"Thanks Lea for the session today I have had great feedback from the day so that’s rewarding." Marie Black Waikari Plunket.
