premises will be dealt with. 13. We

would appreciate it if day students don’t come to school with food, if they
must come with food, the students should keep it in the foods and nutrition lab
to be kept under the custody of a designated and trusted staff. We don’t like
students sharing their foods with other students. 16. Parents
are advised to minimize giving their wards sugary drinks and snacks to school,
apart from the students loitering the environment with them, we prefer they eat
balanced diet which the school provides for students at a subsidized rate.
