Healthy Eating Ideas-

Good nutrition is key to helping our students stay energized and focused throughout the school day. Encouraging healthy eating habits early sets the foundation for lifelong wellness.

Here are some simple, nutritious lunch ideas you can try:

• Whole grain sandwiches with lean proteins like turkey or hummus
• Fresh veggies and fruit slices with a yogurt dip
• Homemade pasta salad with colourful veggies and olive oil
• Cheese sticks or boiled eggs as protein-packed snacks

Mindfulness in our classrooms…..

Incorporating a consistent mindfulness practice into our curriculum is a great way to promote social and emotional learning in our classrooms. It helps students cultivate confidence in life and creates a classroom environment that’s primed for learning. Most importantly, the benefits students gain from practicing mindfulness have a lasting effect both inside and outside the classroom. To support our students in their readiness to learn, all our students practise mindfulness at set times each day at school.
