Ka Ora, Ka Ako | healthy school lunches programme
We are part of the lunches in school programme.
This means our tamariki receive a lunch each day. Our providers are Pita Pit, who have contracted local business Red Rock catering to supply our lunches.
If you do not want your child to receive a lunch please ensure you let the office know by either calling on 273-8644 or emailing admin@stjoespatea.school.nz. You can opt out at any stage.
We will be using our fruit in schools as morning tea for our KURA kids and then at lunch time their lunches will be distributed.
ALL you will need to send to school is a DRINK.
Fruit in Schools (FIS)
We are part of the Fruit In Schools Programme which encourages children to eat more fruit and vegetables and to adopt healthier lifestyles. Through this programme, the Ministry of Health is aiming for a jump-start to healthy eating and lifestyle choices.
