Food and Menu

The menu includes a rotation of quality meals with seasonal fruits and vegetables. A professional chef is employed by GIKA in order to maintain high quality food preparation.

 

Children with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians or severe food allergies, should bring lunch from home.

Sweets are not part of the menu; however food science may include some sugary foods. If a child is not allowed to eat sweets, parents must inform the class teacher in advance. Lunch and snacks brought from home are encouraged to be healthy and nutritious. Please refrain from sending chocolates and crisps for meal times at school.

 

Food from Home

Any food brought from home is given directly to the staff to be distributed among the children fairly. Please consult with the classroom teacher before sending food. Parents are welcome to bring in food or drink for special occasions like birthdays, but please refrain from providing gums, fizzy or sugary drinks.
