Crunch and Sip
Crunch&Sip is a set time in primary schools for students to ‘refuel' on vegetables, salad and fruit and ‘rehydrate' with water. Students who are not hungry and are well hydrated perform better in the classroom, show increased concentration, and are less likely to be irritable and disruptive. Many students are not eating enough vegetables and fruit or keeping sufficiently hydrated.
Crunch and Sip at DPS takes place and 10.15am each day in classrooms.
