FOR ONE SCHOOL'S CAMPAIGN HEALTHY EATING

Abstract

As teachers at Monks Hill High School, Croydon we had increasingly become aware of the poor eating habits of some of the pupils. In spite of positive teaching about good nutrition in home economics, social education and science lessons the pupils' choice of food in the school diners did not reflect the healthy eating patterns advocated by modern nutritionalists. When, in the Summer of 1985, the opportunity arose to run a Healthy Eating Project in conjunction with the School Meals Service, the District Dietitian and the Health Education Department of the Borough of Croydon, we welcomed the idea.
