The school is one of 34 institutions who are beneficiaries of the programme.
According to Scotiabank, the initiative is intended to bring nutrition to children to the forefront, to improve educational outcomes such as attendance and academic performance, as well as to introduce healthy eating among children at the early childhood and primary levels.
Over 13,000 children are expected to be impacted by this initiative.
