Lunchtime Etiquettes

We strive to maintain a positive and conducive learning environment for our students, parents, and staff. To ensure a smooth operation and to create a harmonious atmosphere, we have established the following policies:
Bringing Home-Cooked Meals:
At Asoka World School, we appreciate the care and attention parents put into providing nutritious meals for their children. However, due to considerations of food safety and allergies, we kindly request that students only bring commercially prepared and packaged meals to school. This helps us maintain a secure environment and ensures the well-being of all students.

Lunchtime etiquette is a visible sign of one’s upbringing and manners. Whether attending a social gathering, job interview, or a HIGH TEA, if you know what to do and the correct way to conduct yourselves, you can relax and enjoy yourself. Lunchtimes at AWS gives a chance for children to bond with their teachers and friends. Our aim is to encourage a merry and civilized lunchtime. It is also a time to appreciate what their parents cooked for them and make connections on how that food came to their lunchboxes.

 

We plan to use this break time constructively, so that manners taught at home are practised at school too. We believe that children need a structure to learn and the manners they develop here will be carried forward.
