Food Dudes
Tá polasaí sa scoil maidir le bia sláintiúil a bheith ag na páistí don lón. Molann muid do na páistí torthaí agus glasraí a thógáil ar scoil gach lá (féach thíos faoi ‘Food Dudes’). Faigheann na páistí ceapairí gach lá ar scoil agus bíonn biachlár ar fáil ag tús na bliana chun rogha a thógáil do na páistí. Faigheann muid torthaí- úlla, oráistí agus bananaí gach lá chomh maith. Níl cead bia míshlántúil m.s. seacláid, criospaí a thógáil isteach don lón. Tá cosc iomlán ar chnónna agus ar deochanna súilíneacha.

Children are not allowed to bring in unhealthy lunches such as crisps or chocolate. There is a ban on fizzy drinks and nuts in the school.
