Food & Nutrition
Ridgewood College Tuck Shop
Ridgewood College is committed to healthy nutritional practices for children, and we believe that schools and families must work in partnership in this regard. We believe that schools have a special obligation to lead the way in promoting sound and healthy eating habits in our children.
The Ridgewood College Tuck Shop is based on the school premises and serves a variety of healthy meals and snacks. Daily menus with meal variations will be available in your child’s homework booklet. Meals can be pre-ordered by filling in the order form, and order forms are available from your child’s teacher, the administration office or directly from the Tuck Shop. Alternatively, orders can be placed via e-mail: tuckshop@ridgewoodcollege.co.za. Meal orders are delivered directly to the classrooms for our Grade RRR, RR, R, 1, 2 & Grade 3 students.
Children from all grades are also welcome to visit the Tuck Shop daily to purchase refreshments and snacks.
Why are we educating our learners, teachers and parents about healthier eating habits?
- To give our children sustained energy throughout the school day.
- To assist our children with improved concentration and behaviour in the classroom.
- To help our children to achieve optimally, both academically and on the sports fields.
- For our children to benefit from decreased absenteeism due to improved general health.
