Dear parents and caregivers,
We’re writing to inform of a chance in food policy at St Patrick's. From the beginning of
term 3 only nutritious, unpackaged food will be allowed at school.
Throughout the year we have noticed an increase in unhealthy packaged food items.
These foods are high in sugar, fat, salt and other chemicals which leads to child obesity,
diabetes, heart attacks and strokes.
We have also noticed a large amount of rubbish in our school which gets blow into our
community and waterways. To help you room 8 has come up with ideas which will
feature in the news letter. If your child brings packaged food to school it would be
named and sent home at friday afternoon.
This policy would be starting at the beginning of term 3. If you have any questions
please contact the office.
Yours sincerely
Room 8
