CALORIE-CONSCIOUS students and parents enjoyed a three-course meal to celebrate the end of a six-week healthy eating programme.

Eltham Hill Technology College for Girls, Eltham Hill, Greenwich, teamed up with its catering company, Scolarest, to run a course to teach pupils practical cooking skills and about healthy meals.

Parents also took part in the two-hour after-school sessions, which included practical demonstrations on how to make a variety of tasty dishes.

College vice-principal Tracey Russell said: "We wanted to do some work with our girls about healthy eating, including highlighting the benefits of a balanced diet. We thought it would be exciting for them to be able to do some cooking with their families."
