2. A Healthy School In St. Peter’s Primary School, we place emphasis on working towards a healthy lifestyle. We do this by: Encouraging our children to eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school. Discussing what constitutes a healthy breakfast. Having healthy snacks available at all times on the tuck shop trolley.

3. Our School Helps us to keep Healthy!  Over the years, our school has made many changes to encourage us to make the right choices in life. Here are just some of them: Dinner hall – Hungry for Success Campaign. Healthy tuck – drinks and snacks. Health days. Providing us with fruit three times a week. Playground games. Active schools activities and after school sports clubs.
