Food at school

Before School 8.15am daily Fonterra and Sanitarium support us in providing a Breakfast Club each morning.  This is a lovely time where the children sit down, eat a breakfast of Weetbix and talk about the day ahead.  Everyone invited.

Morning Tea We suggest families provide a small sweet or savoury snack for morning tea time.  E.g. biscuits, muffin, crisps, raisins, cheese etc. NB  It is best to send children’s food in a lunchbox as the food often gets squashed in a plastic bag and children are reluctant to eat it.

Lunch We suggest families provide:

•  fresh fruit
• a carbohydrate based ‘main’ (e.g. sandwiches, crackers, pasta, rice)
• a sweet/savoury snack

Drinks Water bottles are allowed in the classes. We are a water only school, please save juice and fizzy drinks for after school treats. 

We do not allow:

• Chocolates, sweets/lollies
• Energy drinks

(We ask that you keep these as ‘home’ treats’ please.)

We ask that if you provide your child with cans of tuna etc., that they have a plastic spoon or fork to eat this with.  It is also very helpful if your child can open their own pre-packaged snacks.  This makes the duty teacher’s life a lot easier. 
We do not heat food up for children’s lunches so please keep this in mind when packing your childs lunch.
