 PRINCIPAL’S NOTICE

Government announces changes to school lunch programme

This week, the Government announced changes to Ka Ora, Ka Ako | Healthy School Lunches programme.

Students will continue to receive nutritious meals they know and love, helping them to learn and thrive at school.

From Term 1 next year, our lunches will be provided by the School Lunch Collective, led by Compass Group and supported by a number of food manufacturers and suppliers. These hot and cold meals will be delivered daily and will meet the same nutrition standards as our current lunches.

Our ākonga in years 0-8 will receive a 240-gram lunch, the same size our learners in years 4-8 currently receive. Students in years 9+ will receive a meal of at least 300 grams.

There are no changes for our ākonga with complex special dietary requirements. Their meals will continue and will be funded at the current settings.

WHAT ARE ATTENDANCE DUES?

The Ministry of Education does not fund building related costs at our School. Attendance Dues are only used to pay for building related costs. They can not be used for any other purposes.  Paying Attendance Dues is a condition of enrolment for all students attending our School. Attendance Dues are compulsory – there is a legal requirement for parents and caregivers to pay Attendance Dues under the Education and Training Act 2020. They are not a donation.
