Réamhrá
Is scoil Caitliceach í Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh a thugann oideachas bunscoile i timpeallacht sábháilte agus cúramach le meas do daoine eile. Agus an polasaí seo á fhoirmiú, bhí ionchur ó líonmhar páirtithe, go háirithe múinteoirí, páistí, tuismitheoirí, Bórd Bainistíochta agus grúpaí comhairleach ón gairmeacha míochaine agus cúram sláinte.

Réasúnaíocht
Tugadh faoi deara go bhfuil níos mó bia próisealta i mboscaí lóin le deanaí. Mothaímid go bhfuil an tionscnamh seo tábhachtach i bhfianaise imní an lae maidir le beathaitheacht páistí, an tábhachtacht a bhaineann le aiste bia sláintiúil agus i líne leis an gcuraclam Oideachas Sóisilta Pearsanta agus Sláinte.
Scoileanna Glasa
Cabhróidh an polasaí lón lenár iarracht ar ár stádas scoil glas a coimead. Soláthar neamh liúntas de bia neamh-inmhianaithe laghdú de buidéal plaisteach agus coimeádáin eile agus pacáistiú brúscar, atá ag déanamh damáiste don timpeallacht. Spreagtar daoine gan fillteog aon-úsáid nó scragall alúmanam a úsáid.
Scoileanna Ardú Sláinte
Is féidir ardú sláinte i suíomh scoile a shainiú mar aon imeacht a dhéantar ina bhfuil an aidhm ann chun sláinte gach duine i bpobal na scoile a fheabhsú agus a chosaint. Déanaimís ár ndícheall eispéireas dearfach a thabhairt do dhaltaí, baill foirne agus cuairteoirí trí áird ar leith a thabhairt ar gach gné den tsláinte i ngach réimse don scoil. Déanann pobal na scoile ar fad gníomh agus tugann sé tosaíocht do thimpeallacht a cruthú ina mbeidh an tionchar is fearr agus is féidir ar sláinte agus ar fhoghlaim na daltaí, baill foirne agus tuismitheoirí/coimeadaí. Trí rannpháirtíocht agus comhairliúchán scoile uile, déanann an SAS iarracht gníomhach gach duine a ghlacadh i bpobal iomlán na scoile. Níl an SAS sin díreach faoi sprioc le baint amach ach ina ionad próiseas a fhorbraíonn agus a fhásann le saol athraitheach na scoile.

Healthy Eating policy
Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh
Introduction:
Gaelscoil Chaladh an Treoigh is a Catholic Gaelscoil which provides primary education in a safe and caring environment with respect for others.
In the formation of this policy, there was an input from numerous parties, namely teachers, children, parents, Board of Management and advisory groups from the medical and healthcare professions.
All students took part in the ‘Food Dudes’ programme in October 2021.
This policy was ratified by the Board of Management in November 2021.
Rationale
This initiative was as a result of observations that there is a significant increase in the number of processed foods in lunchboxes. We feel is important in light of modern day concerns with child obesity, the importance of having a healthy diet and in line with the Social Personal and Health Education curriculum.
Green schools
The lunch policy will also contribute to our current endeavour in maintaining our status as a green school. Non-allowance of undesirable foods will ensure a reduction of bottles, plastics and other containers and waste packaging, which are damaging to the environment.
Pupils are also encouraged not to use cling film or aluminum foil
Health Promotion Schools
Health Promotion in a school setting could be defined as any activity undertaken that aims to improve and protect the health of everyone in the school community. The HPS strives to make school a positive experience for pupils, staff and visitors by paying special attention to all aspects of health in every area of the school. The whole school community takes action and places priority on creating an environment that will have the best possible impact on the health and learning of pupils, staff and parents/guardians. Through whole school consultation and involvement, the HPS aims to actively engage everyone in the whole school community. The Health Promoting School is not so much about a goal to be achieved, but rather a process that develops and grows with the ever-changing life of the school.
