About Student First
The Student First directors both have 20 years experience in the education and health sectors. Their priority in setting up Student First is to help our teachers to promote healthy lifestyles for all of our children in Ireland. Both directors are acutely aware of the financial constraints which schools often operate under. By purchasing the student first diary, schools will have the opportunity to raise much needed funds for equipment, whiteboards etc.
At Student First we have integrated key facts about healthy living in a fun and child friendly way into a highly professional home work diary. The facts provided complement healthy eating policies in schools and keep key messages consistent with the Social Personal and Health Curriculum in the pupils’ and parents' consciousness at all times.
