The school promotes a healthy balanced diet to help children stay focused and attentive during the school day. All children need to have a mid-morning snack. We encourage fruit and vegetables, and would ask you not to send your child with chocolate, crisps or sweets of any kind.
FS – Year 3
Children can bring in a packed lunch with their familiar foods from home. Alternatively, they can have lunch provided by the canteen, which is delivered to the classroom as a packed snack and lunch.
Year 4 – 6
Children will have the option of packed lunch or hot food from the canteen.
*The school has a NO NUTS policy due to the number of children who suffer from nut related allergies.
Foods that are high in fat and sugar content should be limited. This may help stop your child from becoming overweight and assist in the prevention of tooth decay. Sweets, chocolate, crisps, sweetened cereal bars and fizzy drinks should not be included in a healthy lunch box.
In keeping with SCS’s ‘no nuts’ policy, nuts or foods containing nuts should not be included in the lunch box. It is also for this reason that we discourage children from sharing food.
Each day students can choose from the snack selection for first break, and one of eight lunch options. Drinks, fruits, baked goods and baked lays/popcorn will be available to add.
