Healthy Lunches

As part of our Health Education Programme the school is trying to educate the children towards a healthy attitude to the food they eat and especially to the food they eat in school.

We ask that boys who remain in school for lunch have a healthy, balanced and nutritious lunch in school each day. Ideally each lunch should contain something from each of the major food groups, the bread and cereal, the meat, the milk and fruit group.

As regards "small lunch", as the children call it, some fruit or a small sandwich is better than junk foods.

The Golden Rules are:

• Vary lunches. Try something new.

• Ensure your son gives some assistance in making his lunch.

• No fizzy drinks. Try milk, flavoured milk drinks or a fruit drink.

• No junk food (crisps, sweets or similar products)
