At St Joseph’s Catholic School Pukekohe, we promote a healthy lifestyle to our school community (students, staff, and families/whānau) as part of our commitment to a safe and inclusive school environment. Educating students about nutrition and encouraging healthy active learning contributes to their personal success and wellbeing, and to a healthier community for everyone.
At St Joseph’s School, we:
- promote healthy lunches, with minimal packaged food
- lunches could include a variety of fruit, vegetables, sandwiches, yoghurt and cultural foods
- students are encouraged to bring their own, named water bottles and can fill them up during the day from our water fountains
Students are required to sit and eat their lunch for ten minutes at the start of each interval.
In Term 2 2024, as part of our Year 6 camp fundraiser, we will offer some hot lunch options. Please keep an eye out in the school newsletter for more information.
