Lena researched the School Meals programme. She found that there was a gap in the research. The children, who would be eating the meals hadn't been asked for their opinion. Lena wanted to change that. When Lena surveyed our school and a Deis school in Dublin, she found that the overall rating was 3.17 out of 5. The lunches fell down in portion size, presentation and overall enjoyment. Lena presented excellently to the judges and represented St. Seachnalls with pride. We're all so proud of you Lena. Well done!
