Colonial First State Global Asset Management Head of Retail Operations George Karabatsos said Let’s Live Better was about connecting with local communities and working with them to build a better future.
“This program is not just about green canteens or giveaways, it is about investing in schools and families to build healthy, sustainable communities,” George Karabatsos said.
Passionate food educator and founder of the Children’s Food Education Foundation, Kay Richardson said the Let’s Live Better partnership had already raised close to $40,000 through corporate and consumer donations.
These funds will be invested in an educational resource for teachers to educate our kids about the lifelong benefits of a balanced diet and active lifestyle.

The primary school with the most points at the end of the promotion will win a Canteen Rescue valued at $40,000, which will transform their tired tuck shops into energy efficient and sustainable canteens.
The Canteen Rescue makeover will incorporate a comprehensive solar energy package from NU Energy, energy efficient appliances, an education consultant to design a fresh new menu, a year’s supply of Method’s green cleaning products and $15,000 cash to fund the canteen’s operation.
In addition to the major prize, schools that participate in the competition will also be in the running for big cash prizes as well as weekly giveaways from centre retailers.

For the first time, The Biggest Loser personal trainers are taking their message direct to the kids with a national tour as the new ambassadors for Let’s Live Better.
