AN apple a day might help to keep the doctor away but at Mandurah Baptist College Primary School it also helps to provide healthy nutrition for the year 1 and 2 students who forget to take a Crunch and Sip item to school.
The healthy eating Crunch and Sip initiative involves students stopping once a day to enjoy fruit, vegetables and water.
