As you will be aware the government is looking to cut the lunch in schools programme. 

At present we have a lot of leftover lunches due to students not wanting/ eating them. 
So we have been asked to reduce our waste = reducing number of lunches ordered.

Can you please speak to your child/children and find out if they DO NOT eat the school lunch. We need to take them off the list, which means you will need to provide kai for them.

Can you please private message this page with your child’s name or comment below. Then they will be removed from the lunch list. 

Your support is so appreciated.
