Porirua School is part of the Kickstart Breakfast programme and the Ka Ora, Ka Ako healthy lunches in schools programme. 

Our tamariki get a kickstart to their days with breakfast club. Every morning before school starts, students can go to the hall for breakfast. We also provide healthy school lunches, which are cooked on-site for everyone. We eat together in the school hall every day. 

We also provide fruit for our daily fruit break in the classrooms.

Porirua School is a "Nut-Free" school. This means that we ask that any food that students bring to school do not contain any types of nuts, such as peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts etc. 

Even by touching nut residue left on surfaces allergic reactions can occur so we must make sure there are no nuts at school.

We have made this decision to ensure the wellbeing of students and staff who have nut allergies.
