The aim of this policy is to educate stakeholders (parents, student and educators) to learn to make healthier options when consuming food and drink, while raising awareness about the dangers of processed food, obesity and lack of physical activity.

General reminders:

• Avoid food items which have a high salt content, or high fat content or high sugar content.

• ONLY plain water is allowed at school.

• NUTs must be avoided due to allergies!

Prohibited Food:

• Fried Food

• Potato chips

• Salami, bacon, luncheon meat, mortadella and corned beef

• Highly processed food e.g. sausages, burgers, chicken nuggets, spring rolls, etc.

• Pizzas with high fat/salt toppings, such as sausages, salami, pepperoni and cheese.

• Pastizzi, sausage rolls and hot dogs.

• Chocolates, sweets, biscuits and pastries e.g. doughnuts

• Dessert Yoghurts

• Breakfast cereals and cereal bars

• Bagged savoury snacks

As per national guidelines, the school reserves the right to celebrate occasionally traditional food (both local and from different cultures) to promote traditions e.g. Figolla, Qagħaq tal-Għasel, Pinjolata, etc. Once again, the aim is to EDUCATE! Thus, when such food is presented, we commit ourselves to educate the students about the importance of creating a balance.
