As Wellington is participating in the Health Promoting School programme, we are keen to develop all aspects of your child’s health. Throughout the department there are recurring issues such as manners, social skills and consideration for others. All teachers deal with these areas. There is a programme of physical activity in place involving teachers of PE, dance and swimming.

This year the pupils in Primary 1 will be provided with a Healthy Snack by Sodexho catering. Parents will be
billed for this on a termly basis. The pupils in P2 and P3 are encouraged to bring a healthy snack to school.
Water is always available for children to drink and they are encouraged to bring labelled water bottles in to the classroom with them. Pupils in Primaries 2, and 3 should eat their snack in their classrooms after singing Grace together. They are expected to leave the tables wiped and the floor tidy. In fine weather, pupils may take snacks out to the playground at the teacher’s discretion, after the teacher has enforced the principal of keeping the playground tidy.

Mrs. O’Connell (Senior School) is leading the work in Health promoting Schools campaign, but all staff promote healthy life-styles to the pupils, both incidentally and directly through PSE.
