More Southland schools likely to join healthy school lunches programme

“The food is filling and there’s plenty of it.
“If they haven’t eaten it for lunch, they can take it home, or they might have snack later in the afternoon.”
The Ruru Specialist School “would love” to join the government’s healthy lunches programme, principal Erin Cairns said.
She agreed with Hape on healthy lunches helping to lift concentration levels in afternoon learning.
The Government’s free school lunches programme was another way of supporting and reinforcing good nutrition inside and outside school, Cairns said.
Currently, 130,000 students are receiving the lunches in New Zealand. By the end of 2021, 964 schools and kura, and more than 215,000 (25 per cent) of Year 1-13 students across New Zealand will be receiving them.
