Desmond College is delighted to introduce the School Meals Programme.
This new initiative which has been available to students since Friday, 10th February 2017 allows Desmond College to provide breakfast and lunch provision to all students free of charge.
Desmond College is the only school in the locality to be able to offer such an amazing service to students. So what’s on the menu??
Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs or Beans on Toast, Plain Toast, Cereal, Tea, Juice, Water and Fruit. (All for free)
Break: Small filled roll or a Scone, Yoghurt or Crackers and Cheese, Fruit and Water (yes, all for free)
Lunch: If the students would like a bigger lunch or a hot food option (Large Filled Roll / Lasagne / Shepherd’s Pie or Curry, with Fruit and Water) then this is available for just €2 extra.
This Initiative aims to provide regular, nutritious food to all of our students.
Research has shown that inadequate nutrition impacts negatively on children’s ability to learn and benefit from education. Proper nutrition can improve children’s ability to concentrate and reach their potential.
