HEALTHY EATING AT SCHOOL: DAYCARE CENTRE - KINDERGARTEN-PRIMARY SCHOOL CANTEEN

SCHOOL CANTEEN

Dear parents,

For the third consecutive year, our school, together with the Dietician–Nutritionist Mr Vasileios Katsilas, is delighted to share the positive impact that the feeding programme has had on students’ eating habits and overall well-being.

One of the most significant achievements of the project is the remarkable increase in the variety of foods that students now enjoy. Through carefully designed menus and the introduction of new dishes, children are encouraged to explore and appreciate flavours they might not encounter at home.

A distinctive feature of our project is its emphasis on the Mediterranean Diet. Rather than teaching it merely in theory, we offer an experiential approach: Mediterranean-inspired dishes are incorporated into students’ daily meals, allowing them not only to understand the principles of this healthy diet but also to embrace its value through taste and experience.

Our goal is to remain committed to fostering a positive and mindful food environment for our students — expanding their culinary horizons while promoting their overall health and well-being.

We thank you sincerely for your continued support and cooperation in this shared journey towards better nutrition and a healthier lifestyle for our students. Together, we can empower them with the knowledge and habits they need to lead happier, healthier lives.

We wish you all a happy and fulfilling school year!

Yours sincerely,
Head of School
