During the morning all classes have a 20 to 30 minute break where children have the opportunity to have a small snack and a drink. A sandwich, fruit or cookies, juice or water is all that is needed at this time.

Water coolers are provided on the campus. Students should carry plastic water bottles, which they can refill, at the cooler.

ICRISAT provides snacks and juices, meals and drinks during the snack and lunch breaks. Food can be ordered in advance from the school office. Orders are collected on a monthly basis for the entire month.

Food from home is usually brought to school in the morning or delivered just before lunch. In the interest of security domestic staff from children’s homes are not allowed onto the campus at lunchtime and should leave the lunch in the baskets provided at the gate.

Take away food deliveries are not allowed at school. It is also forbidden to bring chewing gum to school.

There are designated eating areas for all students.
