Wednesday 31 January: KDJ Catering Lunches Start
As advertised late last year, we have a new provider for school lunches. Our tamariki loved the samples they tried towards the end of Term 4.
# We will start with all tamariki in the programme.
# If your child/children have any food allergies, please contact the school office.
# If you have any worries/concerns about your child receiving School Lunches, please chat with your classroom teacher. Although our aim is that all tamariki are on the programme, we understand that this might not suit all tamariki.
