We know that food plays an important role in preventive medicine and also in good mental and emotional health. We ask that parents respect the following food policies for their child’s school lunches, snacks and school events:

• Vegetarian; No meat, chicken, fish or eggs. Additionally we ask that you avoid onions, garlic and mushrooms as these foods have a harmful effect on the nervous system.
• No junk food: Please avoid foods with high sugar content such as lollies and sweets. These, and foods with artificial preservatives and food colourings, can adversely affect a child’s ability to concentrate and learn.
• Minimum packaging: Please use the minimum of packaging. We encourage children to take all used packaging home in their lunch boxes
