(3) A number of Western Australian (WA) schools have accessed funding through the nationally funded Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. The Government of Western Australia has provided other schools with the opportunity to establish kitchen gardens through State funded initiatives that support schools to take a comprehensive multifaceted approach to the promotion of healthy eating and physical activity. State initiatives include the ongoing WA Healthy Schools Project (funded until June 2015 under the National Partnership Agreement on Preventive Health) and Healthway's Health Promoting Schools Grants.
(4) Not applicable.
