Visiting Dietitian talks to the new IB Food Science students
Many thanks to Denise Fair (IS parent), who very kindly came in today to talk to the Y12 students studying the new IB Food Science course. Denise has been a qualified Dietitian for 15 years and has been working in Hong Kong for 10 years. She gave a really informative and interesting question and answer sessions with the students on teenage dietary requirements and current diet related issues and trends. this will be very help to students, as they have just formed the IS healthy Food Group as a CAS project and will be doing lots of work around school linked to making good food choices throughout the year. Hope Denise will be coming back at some point later in the year to give talks to parents and other students, so keep you eyes pealed for more details
