Let them approach their teacher(s) or general office staff for help

Due to the increase in cost and to include a piece of fruit in the main meal, based on the size of the portion, the prices are as follows:

Benefits for students:

Students, particularly primary school students, should be allowed to eat regularly so that they may benefit in terms of their cognitive, physical and socio-emotional development.

Rationale for Meal Break

Promote well-being of students:

Students, particularly those taking school bus or public transport, may take time to reach home and their lunch would be delayed. Hence, providing a 2nd break could ensure that students do not go hungry for an extended period of time

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

No sweet drinks and
