EDITORS COMMENTS
Kerry Dobison, 12, enjoys a hot meal at Heaton Manor School after two years of lunchtime restrictions. In this nostalgic print from the 1980s, we see Kerry savoring her dinner in the school cafeteria. The image captures a significant moment for thousands of schoolchildren across ten Newcastle comprehensives who finally found hot meals back on the menu. For two long years, these pupils had been deprived of proper lunches due to teachers' industrial action and withdrawal of supervision during the break. However, on this day in January 1987, their wait was over as they were once again able to enjoy nutritious meals during school hours. The photograph showcases Kerry as she represents all those eager children who eagerly lined up to receive their much-awaited dinners. Her smile reflects not only her satisfaction with the delicious food but also symbolizes the joy felt by countless other students who could now look forward to nourishing meals each day. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how essential it is for schools to provide healthy and balanced meals for their students. It highlights both the resilience and determination displayed by these young individuals throughout those challenging times and celebrates their victory in reclaiming an important aspect of their education - enjoying wholesome food together.
