Healthy Meals
It's all about making the right choices!
Diet and nutritional Needs
One of the cornerstones of the TheraEd Approach is our understanding of the role of food and nutrition in brain development, general growth, concentration as well as mood and emotions.
By providing a healthy breakfast and a well-balanced, low Gi lunch we know that we are actively assisting our learners to have the correct nutritional foundation on which learning and development can take place.
Lunchbox support and a healthy tuck-shop form part of our Nutrition Policy.
As a no-sugar zone, we are one of the first schools to actively encourage parents to look at the role of sugar and to assist them to find alternatives. Education about optimal nutrition is vitally important and educational talks are part of our parent support plan.
