Cafeteria

PAS believes in providing nutritious and healthy meals to its students in the Cafeteria because we believe;

School Meals – a key part of the whole day!

Schools are ideal places to encourage children to eat healthier options, helping to prevent childhood obesity and other health problems. PAS experienced cafeteria staff can support you in caring for your child by following a healthy and tempting menu that meets US nutritional guidelines. Gone are the days of over-oily curries and fried foods!!! School meals have changed & now offer more than you might first imagine.

So what are the main benefits of choosing a school lunch?

Education

  • Having a balanced meal in the middle of the day will help concentration in the class room.

Quality

  • During the 2008-2009 school years, recipes were modified to reduce sugar, salt and fat content and increase fiber.
  • We are committed to meeting US Health, Safety and Hygiene Regulations. Staff is trained on an ongoing basis and facilities are inspected regularly the School Doctor.

Social

  • Eating a school meal with friends will help develop social skills. Children have the opportunity to practice table manners and learn how to make meal choices.
  • We cater for vegetarians and special needs, including medical diets and religious needs.

Nutrition

  • It is recommended that we eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day. On a daily basis a school meal offers vegetables, salads and fruit for children to choose, therefore helping towards the '5 a day'.
  • Cafeteria meals comply with or exceed the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005, therefore ensuring a balanced meal is provided for your child.
