School Lunches

Lunch boxes are checked by the duty teacher before the children are dismissed from the lunch area, to ensure that the children have had sufficient to eat.

Lunch is eaten on the steps in front of the pool, or under the sunshades.

Every Friday lunches are available for the children to purchase. This is not only a treat for them but also generates some funds for the school camps and the Big Day Out. Parents on duty need to be at school at about 12.25pm to turn the ovens on etc. If you are a new parent, details of basic lunch duty requirements will be sent home prior to your turn.

Lunches consist of a main, from a menu which is sent home at the start of every term and a frozen treat (juicy). The lunches range in price from $3 to $4 and include an ice block and either a bakery pie, Waipawa Butchery sausage & bread, American Hotdog or Burger - which are on a 4 week rotation. A double option is available for an extra $2, which is a double of the main and just the one frozen treat. 

Orders are placed at the beginning of each term on an order form sent to home to families. Lunch orders are paid for in advance at the start of each term through online banking - Refer to page 2 for Internet Banking details. If paying by cash this needs to be sent to school with the order form in a sealed named envelope. 

You are most welcome to phone in your child’s order and then send the money in, anytime before Friday, or select and pay for the entire term in a lump sum. Please call the school office if you have any enquiries.

Because this is a fundraising venture, all families are asked to donate their time and are put on a roster (distributed at the start of each term) to help heat and serve the lunches. Thanks to the senior class we have been able to limit the amount of parent helpers to just one per week, which means fewer annual duties for all families. Most will find they are only called upon once or twice a year. This is a great service to those who choose to purchase their lunches as a treat.
