Sharing Food at Arahoe

A message from Senior Management. 

At Arahoe School drink or food treats/prizes may not be given out to children or classes. However, from time to time, classes may create and/or consume drink or food items as part of their learning programmes. When this occurs, parents will be informed of what children will be making and consuming. Your child's teacher will inform you well in advance of any planned shared lunch occasions. We understand that parents provide the food for their child, that they would like them to consume while they are at school.

Be Litter Free

Arahoe School cares for the environment. We want to reduce the amount
of rubbish we send to the landfill.
You can help us…
BE LITTER FREE!
Make your lunch-box free of gladwrap and
plastic wrappers as these are non-recyclable.  Instead, put food such as yoghurt, chips

and biscuits into reusable containers.

Litter-less Lunchbox Challenge
Term 4 20th of October – 21st of November

The challenge is
to see which class can have the most litter-free lunches by the end of Week 5.

Each class is to fill in the calender and create an eye catching graph in the classroom which records how many litter-free lunches they have on a daily basis.

The winner will be
the class with the highest daily average of litter-free lunch-boxes over the period of Week 2-5.

The prize will be
an out of school eco-picnic for the whole class, plus the chance to choose and plant the centrepiece tree in the school vegetable garden.
