HEALTHY EATING DAY
Healthy Eating Day - January 27th 2008
On Thursday 27 January a Healthy Eating Workshop took place at BBEC in the new Blenheim Centre – a purpose built centre for use by 
parents and community groups.
The Workshop was run in conjunction with the school, Neighbourhood Enrichment Officers, School Nurse, Peer Health, Young Pals and degree student Laura Quinn studying nutrition.
Parents of boys in years 8 and 9 were invited to the workshop to listen to a short presentation about healthy eating – the focus of which was to help themencourage their teenagers to make healthy choices. After the short presentation the parents were treated to a FREE healthy lunch consisting of introductory fruit smoothies, chicken wraps and a selection of salad with dips. During thepresentation a fruit sculpting activity was carried out by the neighbourhood enrichment team – the fruit was then served up as an exotic fruit salad for a healthy dessert. The event was very well attended and it is proposed that other sessions be run in the future.
