WA apples promotion - Wellbeing and Harmony Day

This event serves as a powerful platform to promote healthy lifestyles and wellness.
— Nardia Stacy Executive Manager Pomewest

As part of our promotions schools program, Pomewest participated in the Cyril Jackson Wellbeing and Harmony Day Event 8 May 2024.

More than 700 students, hailing from over 50 countries and aged 16 and above, had the privilege of being introduced to WA Bravo apples and educated about the WA Apple and Pear industry and our apple breeding history. These students brought a vibrant energy to the event with their diverse backgrounds and languages. Many are new to Australia, having arrived only a few weeks, months, or years ago. Some are just beginning to learn English, while others are already attending TAFE, university, or work. The School also hosted guest students from other local metropolitan schools.

It's not just about introducing students to our delicious apples, but also about fostering a community that values natural foods and healthy living. The event provides a unique opportunity to reach out to communities that we might not otherwise have access to, and to promote the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Pomewest thanks WA Farm Direct and the Fruit West Co-operative for supplying fruit for the event

and Noelene from Fresh Finnese for her coordination.
