 LUNCHBOX AND MEALS
At Eagle’s Nest a healthy food policy is followed to ensure active and clear minds!
We would like to encourage parents to make sure that their children have proper breakfast in the morning.
Our suggestions for your learner’s lunch boxes are :
Beverages: Fruit or/Vegetable Juice, water and yogurt drinks.
Snack : for your child to enjoy at break time. fruit, vegetables, dried fruit, nuts, biltong,
Food/Sandwiches: for your child to enjoy for Lunch/(for break time if they didn’t eat
breakfast) All fruits and vegetable, Whole grain or enriched cereals / crackers, cheese, snack cracker pretzels,
yogurt, boiled eggs, sandwiches, cheese, last night’s dinner cooked meals ect. just make sure the items
sugar content is not too high.
Tuck Shop: Please only give your child money only once a week if they want to buy sweets.
Avoid sweets, chips (Simba’s) or soft drinks as they attract bees and some leaners are allergic to the bees.

We advise that the sugar content stay as low as possible in your child’s lunch
box. A high sugar content makes the learner’s energy levels spike for a short while
and after +/- 40min, the sugar is worked out and the child becomes very tired and
can’t concentrate.
