Morrinsville school runs a breakfast club where a nutritious breakfast is provided for children as well as participating in the milk in schools program. All children are welcome to participate.
The school employs stringent policies with regards to all first aid and medical procedures. Parents should ensure they are familiar with these guidelines – in particular the administering of medications.
Parents wishing to take children out of school early or temporarily during school hours must do so through the school office.
Our school canteen is open Wednesday to Friday (closed Mondays and Tuesdays). Updated and amended price lists are sent home throughout the year. Contact the office if you require a new list.
All orders must be received before school and placed directly into the ‘Lunch Box’ located in the office area.
The school recognises that children arrive and leave school in many different ways and that no two days are necessarily the same.
Please inform your child’s teacher or the school office if there is a change to the usual travel routines for your child – especially any changes to the end of the day and collection arrangements.
