Acting Principal's Report

Healthy Eating at School

We are noticing a lot of students bringing large bags of chips or lollies and bottles of sports drinks (Gatorade/Powerade) to school to eat and drink for their snack or lunch. Whilst we acknowledge this may be an easy option to provide, we encourage where possible that students eat an appropriately sized snack, such as a small packet of chips or biscuits, and one that is where best as possible is healthy, such as a sandwich, wrap, fruit or vegetables. We don't encourage drinks other than water, and if students choose not to bring a water bottle, they can use the drink taps throughout the day. All students have access to fruit in the classroom and at breakfast club in the morning. Please be aware that we do not allow the sharing of food between students for a number of health and safety reasons. When students bring these large bags, it is encouraging them to share foods. If they continue to bring these large bags of chips, they will be required to eat their snack inside before going out into the yard to play.

Please don't send the following items for snack or lunch:
