Yes! 16 golden bowls from The Healthy School Canteen

We received no fewer than 16 gold awards from the Nutrition Centre!

Summa College is the first vocational college to receive no fewer than 16 gold medals from the Nutrition Center according to the updated 2021 guidelines! 

With the Nutrition Centre's stricter guidelines since January, the bar for gold has been raised even higher. Thanks to a great collaboration between Summa College, the Nutrition Centre, and Markies Catering, we've managed to reach this bar. And all this in the time of COVID!

To meet the 80% "healthier choices" requirement, seasonal produce and fresh fruit have been added to the canteen menu. With the start of the new school year, soup—a popular item within the Summamuren—will be back on the menu. Fair trade products will also soon be available.

Never snack or eat sweets again?

The revamped canteen selection is incredibly diverse. From baguettes, paninis, and whole-wheat toasties to salads, fruit, and yogurt. There are even options for a combination deal. Do these changes mean no more snacking or sweets? Not at all, because we still have the 20% "unhealthy treats." These include sausage rolls, apple turnovers, sugar waffles, focaccias, and candy bars. There's also a snack of the day. Explore the canteens and think about your health – Summa does too!
