A waste-free lunch means only packing items that can be composted or recycled. That means, no plastic wrap, no foil, no zip lock bags, and no packaged foods.

Hobsonville School only has organic waste bins. The waste is composted or fed to our worms to help support the growth of our vegetable gardens and fruit trees in our school garden. Through this process, we are teaching the ākonga to be responsible for the waste they create, and how they can make a difference in the environment we love. If ākonga bring waste to school, we ask them to please take this home.

Our multidisciplinary health team works to provide care that benefits both the wider school community and individual children

and their whānau. Our services include individual health assessments, health promotion, addressing identified health needs and inquiries, immunisation, hearing and vision screening, paediatric ear nursing, collaboration with school and community multidisciplinary teams, and helping to prevent the spread of

infectious diseases. We are available to all schools and focus our resources in the areas of highest need.

Please see attached information on our services.
