Ka Ora, Ka Ako healthy school lunches programme has enjoyed great success at Waitākere College and many schools across NZ to provide free, healthy lunches to students.
The Government is proposing substantial cuts to the Ka Ora, Ka Ako healthy school lunches programme.
For those interested in keeping the Healthy Lunches Programme, a petition calls on the National Government to continue funding free and healthy school lunches and to give families and schools certainty that the programme is here to stay. Sign the petition here
There is also a free community event run by MP Phil Twyford, colleagues and teachers from our local schools to hear first-hand about the difference that the school lunches programme is making in West Auckland, what the proposed cuts could mean, and discuss how the community can all work together as a community to defend cuts to the Ka Ora, Ka Ako school lunches programme.
