Healthy eating for healthy learning is the dictum followed at Scottish High. The School lays a great deal of emphasis on ensuring the health, hygiene and nutrition requirements of its students. At breakfast the students gather in the mammoth air-conditioned dining hall that can accommodate 1100 students at a time and have their first nourishment of the day. Highly experienced chefs prepare a variety of multi-cuisine dishes for the students in the ultramodern and hygienic kitchen, during their breakfast, lunch and evening milk.
The menu of the school is supervised by a qualified dietician who approves the menu suggested by the food committee comprising of teachers, students, and chef & core management team. The menu is carefully planned keeping in mind, balanced diet, cuisine & preferences of thousands of children & parents, dietician recommendations and taste buds of pupils. Fruits, curd, vegetables, pulses, salads, rice, chapatti, desserts etc are all an integral part of the catering. The school has ISO 9000 and OHSAS 18000 standards for systems, health & safety. Medical examination of all food handlers, daily food fasting by doctor & principal, sanitary rounds of the galley are an integral part of the catering.
A fulltime doctor in the school closely monitors the hygiene factor and the food is served by trained and efficient stewards. Entire teaching fraternity dines with students and the students’ eating habits and dining room etiquettes are supervised by the class teachers. Safe and purified water is made available for the students at all times. The meal time in the school is indeed not a “break time”, but a sanctimonious ritual and an opportunity for students to pray together, break bread together & bond with their teachers and peers.
