Students at Stuarts Point are enjoying the health benefits of a daily fruit and vegetable session labelled "Fruit Bat'.
The program is introduced after daily morning exercises to ensure that all students have a healthy start to begin each school day.
Students can bring fresh or dried fruit and vegetables to eat. Often, extra fruit such as bananas, mangoes and watermelon are donated by local families who have farms and orchards.
Teachers have noticed how much more productive students tend to be in class after some healthy fruit in the morning and many parents are glad that the fruit they send to school is being eaten rather than finding it squashed in the bottom of their children's bag at the end of the day.
