Healthy lunch policy

Healthy Lunch Policy 

  • Children need a healthy lunch, which may include one small treat on Fridays only, e.g. two biscuits, a fun-size bar.
  • Lunches must be nut free. Nut based spreads such as peanut butter or Nutella are not permitted.
  • Foods should be brought to school in a re-usable lunch box.
  • Drinks should be brought to school in a re-usable plastic bottle or other similar container.
  • Children are expected to bring any uneaten lunch home, which should help parents/guardians monitor their eating habits.
  • All children will have the option of availing of free hot lunches in school. Lunches can be ordered by parents and the lunches will be delivered to the children for consumption at second break each day. The school encourages all parents and children to avail of free hot lunches in school.

Suggestions for a healthy lunch:
  • Sandwiches/wraps/crackers/breads with a healthy filling e.g. salad, meat, cheese, vegetables, spreads.
  • Fruits and vegetables e.g. apples, bananas, pears, blueberries, mandarin oranges, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, cucumber, raisins etc.
  • Yoghurts e.g. natural yoghurt, fruit yoghurts, plain yoghurts etc. (if your child can store. open and eat yoghurts carefully and properly).
  • Other healthy options e.g. meat balls, cheese, left over pasta etc.
  • Drinks to be taken with food – water, juices and milk. Water is the best choice as it hydrates and does not cause any tooth decay. Water only may be taken during the school day (outside of lunchtimes) for the purpose of hydration.
     
Foods/drinks which are not permitted in school
  • Sports drinks and fizzy drinks due to their high sugar content.
  • Crisps, lollipops, sweets, chewing gum, large bars and popcorn.
  • Cereal bars of any description due to their high sugar content. However, cereal bars may be eaten as a treat on Fridays.
  • ‘Frubes’, ‘Yops’ (or other yoghurts in plastic tubes) and yoghurts which have ‘corners’ containing treats such as chocolate etc.
