Ka Ora, Ka Ako/Healthy School Lunches Programme

Ka Ora, Ka Ako is a wonderful programme that aims to provide healthy, nutritious lunches to students in schools, ensuring that every child has access to a well-balanced meal during the school day. The programme focuses on supporting the overall well-being of students by offering meals that meet their dietary needs, while also promoting healthier food choices. Our school is an internal model school, this means that we cook all of our food on site in our purpose built technology kitchen. At our school, we are fortunate to have two talented cooks who prepare the lunches daily, ensuring that each meal is freshly made, delicious, and packed with the nutrients children need to stay energised and focused for their school day. We grow a lot of the vegetables used in our lunches in our school gardens. This initiative is not only about feeding students, but also about teaching them the importance of healthy eating habits.
