School leads way in ABCs of healthy eating

AS the British Government embarks on a plan to ban junk food in the classroom, a Limerick school has issued an invitation to British education chiefs to visit them and see how it should be done.

Corpus Christi primary school in Moyross, which led the way with a healthy eating programme in this country, wants to show others what the teachers and students have achieved. The school introduced its healthy meals scheme in 2003.

The plan was introduced on a pilot basis in 1998 and funded by the Limerick Paul Partnership.
