“Educating the whole child,
includes the heightening of awareness of healthy eating habits leading to the
manifestation of living in healthy bodies. We transformed our tuck-shop
as one of our goals during 2012 to become a source of healthy eating options
for the school child who spends more than 7 hours per day on our campus.
The menu and quality of product was totally reviewed, now it includes wholesome
meals that provide nutritional value maintaining the energy levels of our
children. Food is prepared by grilling and steaming. Fried foods are kept
at a minimum. Fizzy drinks are not sold at our tuck-shop. Stocks of sweets and chocolates are limited to a small variety sold in the bite size
options. Guidelines used when reviewing the Menu was that provided by the
heart foundation. At Sagewood School we realise the importance of
educating the child holistically. Hence every facet of school life is
carefully considered by the management team of Sagewood School. Decisions
taken always centre and focus on the well-being of our children, staff and
parents.” Sagewood Management Team
