A healthy lunch should provide one-third of a child’s food requirements for the
day. One choice from each of the food groups is recommended.

Eolas Breise;
Iarraimid ar thuismitheoirí cloí leis an bpolasaí mar go bhfuil sé
tabhachtach don pháiste go mbeadh an teachtaireacht chéanna ag
teacht ó bhaile agus ón scoil maidir le ‘ Bia Folláin’.
We would request that parents adhere to the Healthy Eating Policy as it is
important for its successful implementation that children get support both from
home and school.
Mar chuid den iarracht chun gearradh siar ar bhrúscar agus cabhrú
le comhshaol glan, b’fhiú do thuismitheoirí iarracht á dhéanamh an
lón a chlúdach gan an iomad foil ná plaisteach a úsáid.
As a way of reducing waste and reusing material, parents are asked to be mindful of the packaging of lunches and to avoid overuse of plastic or foil wraps where possible and to avail of containers or re-useable ziplock bags.
Deirtear gurb é an bricfeasta an béile is tábhachtaí sa lá. Cabhróidh
sé go mór leis an obair scoile má tá bricfeasta ceart ite ag gach
páiste.
Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. Ensuring that your
child has a proper breakfast before school will benefit him/her in school and
make the presentation of a healthy lunch more meaningful.
