From Home to Classroom

Lunches and Snack Times at School

As the year progresses please monitor how much food your child is eating each day. 

Some children find they have too much food in their lunchbox, while others might need a little extra. Please take a moment to ask your child if the amount feels right for them.

When it’s eating time at school, children are given 10 minutes to sit and eat. During this time, we encourage them to focus on eating before heading off to play. 

For Foundation students it can be really helpful if you take time at home to show your child how to open and use any containers, wrappers or lunchbox equipment, so they feel confident and independent at school.

Teachers supervise and support children during snack and lunch breaks to make sure everyone has time to eat and feels comfortable. If you ever have any concerns or questions about your child’s eating at school, please don’t hesitate to contact their class teacher.
