Healthy Eating

Working Together for a Healthier Future 

By working together — we can build a school community where every Student has the knowledge and confidence to live a healthy, happy life 

At Borrisokane Community College, we are committed to promoting the health and wellbeing of all our students in line with Healthy Ireland, the Department of Education’s Wellbeing Policy, and our School Healthy Eating Policy. 

Recent Irish research shows that 1 in 4 adolescents are living with overweight or obesity. Schools, families, and communities all play an important role in helping young people develop lifelong healthy habits. 

This link brings together trusted Irish resources for students and parents to make small, positive changes at home and in school — through better nutrition, more physical activity, and balanced wellbeing.
