End of Year Health Report 2013

Kaikohe East continues to support health programmes.  These have contributed to creating and maintaining a Healthy Promoting School. Here is a breakdown of what we have successfully achieved this year.

Kick Start Breakfast

This has continued throughout the year now on a daily basis. Fonterra and Sanatarium are the key sponsors in providing Weetbix and milk for students. There are approximately 15-20 students who take breakfast at school each day.

All classes also get their own milk each day. Students have been instructed in how to fold the milk cartons as part of an important recycling process. These cartons are shipped to Malaysia and converted into roof tiles for state houses. Children enjoy their milk and look forward to it as part of their daily routine.

The School Garden

This is developing well with the help from North Tech. school clubs and class programmes. In the weekly club programmes held in Term 3 edible hanging baskets were created with plants, herbs and fruits. Room 4 is currently planting an area and taking seeds to plant native trees. With the opening of the bike track fruit trees have been planted around the edges. A shade green house has been constructed for the protection of plants. Orchard planting continues and a strawberry patch is being created. Looking to next year, North Tech will continue with their Sustainability progamme, and they are planning on building a pizza oven. There hs been no funding for the garden club this year.

Jump Rope For Heart

On June 12 the school took part in the Jump Rope for Heart with funds raised to support the Heart Foundation.

Zero Waste

Sue Woods gave the school class demonstrations on how to reduce packaging. She also recently showed senior classes examples of packaging that had won awards. This continues to be a problem in school and healthy lunchboxes are always being reviewed.

Fruit in Schools.

This valuable programme is still in practice and will be for next year also. The daily variety of fruit plays a vital component to students in their working day along with the Milk in Schools programme.

Road and Truck Safety

On May 28th the  school was visited by Peter Houston on behalf of the Forest Management. Students were made aware of the dangers around big trucks. They were shown around and in the truck to get first hand experience. It was a wonderful learning experience

Life Education

The caravan visited the school in Term 3. Students look forward to their time with Harold! Body parts and the digestive system as well as the different food groups were the topics. To continue with the support of the Life Education Trust, staff from the school will be taking part in the Half Marathon in Kerikeri on November 16th to raise funds for this valuable resource to schools.

Looking to 2014

The Kick Start Breakfast, Milk and Fruit in school programmes will continue.  A visit for St John’s will be planned along with classroom projects and Inquiry models. Sun smart and water programmes are also key topics. The Health topics will be included in a newsletter informing the parents what the school will covering next year. This is to ensure that consultation requirements have been addressed and parents have the opportunity to respond if they wish.

This has been my 2nds year as the Health coordinator. I look forward to creating, healthy and exciting options for students and Kaikohe East School.


Yours sincerely.
