We've been awarded the Goudenschaal!

But what is the Goudenschaal?
It's not just that our canteen provides their service with a smile, nor is it that there's always a long line of students that lining up for their lunches! It's an annual accreditation from the Voedingscentrum (The Netherlands Nutrition Centre Foundation) awarded to schools who offer a healthy canteen!
To meet the accreditation standards we must show that we meet the following:
- At least one 'better choice' is offered in each product group in the canteen.
- At least 80% of the products offered in the canteen are a 'better choice' product.
- Fruit and vegetables are offered in the canteen.
- Drinking water is encouraged.
Appearance of a healthy canteen:
- On the most notable positions in the canteen (on the counter, in the displays and on the trays) only 'better choice' products are on display.
- On the most notable positions in the vending machines only 'better choice' products are on display.
- If any food or drink is offered next to the checkout then those are only 'better choice' products.
At IS Hilversum we're always striving to provide a healthy, student centred canteen and we value their feedback via our student surveys throughout the year to help us get there!
