It is the policy of St Riaghan’s to encourage all parents to promote a healthy, nutritious lunch to their children.
Lent is also a time when teachers encourage and remind children to cut back on treats and sugary snacks.
In October 2016, the school introduced free lunches to all its pupils.
11am snacks and hot lunches and water are delivered daily from Fresh Today.
Funding is received from the Department of Social Protection.
Details of the hot meals will be communicated to all parents in due course.
