Dannevirke High School providing own school lunch programme

From Checkpoint, 4:43 pm on 12 March 2025

Dannevirke High School in the lower North Island employs its own cooking staff and has its own kitchen to provide healthy and sizeable meals to its 418 students. The school has had its per-head budget for the food cut in half this year, but there are few complaints about what's offered up to students. Reporter Jimmy Ellingham paid the school a visit.
