Healthy Eating & Sport
Initiative
Since April students and staff of the Integrated College
Dungannon have been given tokens each time they purchase a healthy meal
in the school canteen. Students and staff who collected 8 or more vouchers
within two weeks received a free swimming voucher to use in Dungannon
Leisure Centre.
As a reward the student who collected the most healthy-eating
vouchers was presented with a mountain bike, sponsored by Investing
for Health and R & R Cycles in Dungannon. Year 8 student Bernaldo
Marime, pictured below, was the lucky winner of the bike.
The Mayor of Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council,
Mr Barry Monteith, presented ten runner up students at the college with
gift vouchers before congratulating and presenting the overall winner
Bernaldo Marime with the mountain bike.
‘‘I was delighted when Mr Sleeth (Principle)
called my name out as the winner. I really enjoy the healthy eating
options served in the canteen so it wasn’t difficult for me to
collect lots of tokens. It was a great idea to promote healthy eating.
Lots of my friends are eating more healthy foods now as well. It was
good to meet the mayor and to have him present my prize. He was really
friendly and congratulated me on winning’’.
