Eating Healthy Food Programme is currently being observed for the whole stretch of the second term at PDS International School.

The campaign took off with daily programmes held in the school strongly promoting healthy living and proper daily nutrition.

"Healthy food like vegetables are commonly ignored during meal time by the young tots," said teacher Ramon Baer of the school, "And kids must know how rich and nutritious these green and yellow food are just like their favourite fried chicken and roasted beef."

"Fruits and vegetables are very rich sources of fibre, vitamins and minerals," he added.

To further promote the programme effectively, the students visited the Pasar Gadong in order to have a first hand exposure to fresh vegetables, meat and seafood.

The tour around the market was both educational and fun where they were introduced to different kinds of vegetables and fruits as they walked around the marketplace which took place like a guessing game.

Helpful and informative posters about healthy foods were also placed everywhere around the hallways of the school and real fruits and vegetables are also brought to school as part of effective campaigning of the programme.
