School Canteen Matters

Dear students, 

Some updates on canteen matters.  

1) Trial for fruits system.

There will be a trial period to encourage eating of fruits amongst students. To make it more convenient and visible for all, the fruits will be placed at the stalls during the trial. The token system will cease during the trial, which will last for 1 month starting from 3 April. Those who have tokens from previous purchases can exchange them for fruits at the stalls during the trial.

2) Use of disposables.

You are strongly encouraged to bring your own non-disposables for those who intend to have takeaways. Do remind one another to reduce, reuse and recycle whenever possible. It is important to cultivate habits to reduce our carbon footprint.

3) Cleanliness responsibility

You are reminded to clear the areas you use after eating. You are to clear any leftover food off the utensils, before placing them gently in the receptacle bins. You are also reminded to reduce food wastage and politely ask for smaller portions if need be.

Thank You.

Fruit token usage reminder

Dear students,

The school has implemented the Healthy Meals In School Programme from 4 Jan 2016. With this, every meal purchased in the canteen comes in a set with fruit. A token is given to every student to redeem a fruit from the fruit machine. All students are strongly encouraged to redeem and consume the fruits as part of a healthy diet.

For the fruit redemption system to work, the tokens given out must be returned to the system either by redemption from the fruit machine or returning the tokens to Canteen Stall 3 (Drinks and Fruits). These returned tokens will then be reused. The redemption system fails when the tokens are not returned to the system as there would be insufficient tokens in the system. We have experienced this intermittently.

The tokens, like the cutlery issued during every purchase, must be returned after use as they are the property of the canteen operators. Students are once again reminded to help the canteen operators make this system work by redeeming your fruits from the machine or returning the tokens to Canteen Stall 3 (Drinks and Fruits) if you do not wish to consume the fruits.

Health Week Video and Participants Token

Here is the Health Week Video.
