Can we all send in our petition to bring the catered food scheme back? Who to send to?

I think catered food is good but the school should change the caterer. If you have seen what your boys are getting for the catered food, it is very miserable and definitely not value for $$. They get bread buns (like those you can get from bakeries), hot dogs, nuggets, etc... I thought the MOH has been encouraging healthy food in school but there is hardly any veg in the kids' food, the very most is a miserable slice of cucumber. Most kids do not like veg but we should not let them have the idea that it's ok not to eat by not offering to them. Too often our kids get processed food and I don't think it should be further encouraged in school. There was once where the caterer gave utensils that has mould growing on them!!!

I think the children can still have catered food but in the canteen. In that way, they can have better food like fish ball/wanton noodles, spaghetti, fried rice etc.

that reminds me, cant the canteen owners cater food to the kids?

at least its fresher.
mould on utensils?? thatt means they used very old disposable wares.
by the way i noticed the canteen has disposable fork and spoons
does that mean the canteen has NO real fork and spoons? dont like disposable ones as they may break.

I think the canteen is also run by the same caterer. Maybe due to no competition, I never find the food in the canteen appetizing and it is expensive. My daughter can survive with $2 allowance a day for recess & lunch but one meal at Maris Stella is almost $2. Also don’t remember seeing real fork & spoons in the canteen.

If food is that bad and expensive, then we might as well invest in some good thermal lunchbox. Only thing is, it’s very troublesome to wake up early to cook for them!

Think instead of a petition to reinstate the catering, we should petition for a change in caterer or have at least 2 vendors to induce competion. Hopefully a better nutritional menu will be introduced.

I went on admin day and was told the house t-shirt was sold out, got to buy from the warehouse. Does anyone knows if the house t-shirt can be purchased from school when the school re-opens? Find it very mafan to go to another place to buy it. And is it very important to get the house t-shirt? Do they wear it often.


I am sorry to hear the catering scheme is scrapped too.My son is definitely a blur sotong esp when it comes to getting food. I think he will not eat anything for recess!

TIA!

Hi ptr

I think there will be enuff time for you to get the house t-shirt in the first week of school. The teachers will not scold your son if he doesn’t wear it in the first week. They still need to get used to the timetable.

i think u can get it frm the vendor’s outlet at bras basah complex too.
