Primary school canteens across Bridgend County Borough are set to be over run by Superheroes with the launch of a brand new competition.

“Healthy Heroes” is challenging pupils to design a superhero made from healthy foods, such as, fruit and vegetables or health food cartons, such as, fruit containers, yoghurt pots, etc.  The hero can be in the form of a poster, collage or a 3D model. It will encourage pupils to think about what is classed as “healthy foods” as well as giving them a chance to win some BIG PRIZES!

The prizes are:

1^st place: A brand new “Shogun” bicycle

2^nd place: A game of bowling for 4 people at Hollywood Bowl, Cardiff

3^rd place: A tour for 2 of the Millennium Stadium                  

Pupils also get the chance to win online!  By visiting www.myschoollunch.co.uk/bridgend and answering 4 simple superhero related questions, they could win a £10 voucher to spend in Woolworths.

Closing dates for all entries is 6th March 2007

Norma Griffiths, Group Manager for Catering Services:

“This is set to be our most exciting competition to date.  Not only will it be fun for children to design a superhero to rival the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman, but it will get them thinking about what is classed as a “healthy food”. 

Thanks has to be given to the local businesses who donated the superb prizes.  Without their generosity, we would not be able to offer such fantastic incentives”
