Benefits for students:

Rationale for Meal Break

Promote well-being of students:

Students, particularly those takingschool bus or public transport, maytake time to reach home and theirlunch would be delayed. Hence,providing a 2nd break could ensurethat students do not go hungry for anextended period of time

Do prepare some dry finger food for your child/ward in line with the Healthy Meal Programme.

No sweet drinks and tidbits are allowed.

To promote well-being of students, there will be a 10 minute meal break.

fresh/ dried fruit, buns, bread, biscuits, muffins, nuts, plain water

• No ice-cream, chocolate, sweet, chips, sweet drinks

• Parents may give children pocket money to purchase snacks. However, students will have to purchase before the meal break (ie during recess or before school)

• No sharing of food is encouraged as students may have allergy

Meal Break food items

•The earlier your child is familiarisedwith his/her new environment, themore positive he/she will feel aboutgoing to school.

•Get him/her excited about newexperiences, such as making newfriends or learning new things.

Parents and School in Partnership

UNITY ~ Ray A Lingenfelter ~

I dreamed I stood in a studio.

And watched two sculptors there.

The clay they used was a young child's mind.

And they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher; the tools she used were books and music and art.

One was a parent; with a guiding hand and a gentle loving heart.

And when at last their work was done

They were proud of what they had wrought

For the things they had worked into the child

Could never be sold or bought.

And each agreed she would have failed if she had worked alone

For behind the parent stood the school.

And behind the teacher stood the home.
