Schools resource kit
Resources are available for school site leaders in fruit fly affected areas, and teachers in any area. These are used in the classroom, around the school and when communicating with parents and carers about fruit fly.
There are two parts to the resource kit:
- school resources – for red outbreak or yellow suspension area schools educating their school community about fruit in lunchboxes, onsite waste disposal and restrictions
- teaching resources – for student learning purposes.
