Papatoetoe East Primary School is part of the Ministry of Education Ka Ora, Ka Ako - Healthy School Lunches Programme. Our lunch providers, Good Vibes and Subway, ensure all students receive appropriate healthy meals that meet all dietary requirements, including but not limited to vegetarian, vegan, halal, dairy free and gluten free meals. Any families that choose to opt out of this programme are expected to provide a healthy alternative, not ‘fast’ foods, sweets, lollies or chips.
We are also a water-only school. No other drinks are allowed to be bought to school. This includes energy drinks, fizzy drinks or boxed drinks (Up and Go, juices etc)
Due to the number of pupils with food allergies and associated food intolerances we discourage the sharing of food except when organised and monitored as part of a school event.
Parents, please support our local businesses
