Healthy School Lunch Policy

In line with our aim of promoting health in Listellick NS we are introducing a healthy lunch policy which will become effective from September 2014. From that date children will be asked to bring in a healthy lunch each day. The views of staff, parents and children were sought using surveys and considered when compiling this policy. We believe that a healthy eating pattern encouraged at an early age will benefit the pupils in both the immediate future and will stay with them through to their adult lives.

Aims:

▪ To encourage healthy eating habits.

▪ To help children understand the link between a healthy diet and a healthy, active lifestyle.

▪ To help children become more aware of dental hygiene.

▪ To support the school’s environmental policy (green school) on encouraging reusable containers and minimum use of wrappers etc.
