Nutrition Education In the Australian Curriculum
"In order to influence student behaviour in terms of healthy eating and
nutrition it is important to provide students with opportunities to learn about
where their food comes from, how it is produced, why they choose it, the
benefits of healthy eating, what food is nutritionally sound and how they can
prepare it. In the Australian Curriculum students may be taught about food and
nutrition in both Health and Physical Education and in the Technologies learning
area through Design and technologies. The focus in the Health and Physical
Education curriculum will be on understanding healthy choices in relation to
nutrition, understanding the range of influences on these choices, and
developing and applying the knowledge, understanding and skills to make
healthier choices in relation to food and nutrition" - Quoted from the proposed health and physical education unit of the Australian Curriculum 2012 ACARA
