Food and School Lunches Rudolf Steiner believed strongly that the food we eat affects not only our physical body but also our mental and spiritual well-being. For this reason we ask all parents to pack healthy lunches for school. By working together as a community, we can foster positive values about good health and nutrition as well as protecting our environment from litter. The teachers have an interest in seeing that any food consumed at school is wholesome and nutritious. In response to the increasing prevalence of children with severe (ie life-threatening) food allergy reactions, the school asks that no child at any level from Playgroup to Class 8 brings any peanuts or peanut products to school at any time, including festivals, working bees and fairs. Ideally, a child’s lunch should contain a healthy balance of nutritious foods. Please note that no lollies, chocolates, chewing gum, fizzy drinks, chips or other recognised junk foods are to be brought to the school. Please only send in birthday cakes without lollies (such as Smarties) as some children have an allergic reaction to colourings and preservatives. We see this as a positive opportunity to uphold fundamental values, so that a Steiner education can be a truly holistic approach for the well-being of your child and future generations.
