Health Promoting Schools
Papatoetoe West School promotes healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. We are proud to be able to provide our students with healthy lunch options.

Together the team of students from across the school organise Friday fitness sessions, encourage healthy eating and organise competitions for the school.

We are a water only school.
Fruit in Schools is provided by the Ministry of Education with the aim of providing healthy food choices for our students. The students receive fruit every day, with different varieties each time.
If your child has an allergy to any fruit, please contact their teacher immediately.
Fonterra Milk for Schools is funded by Fonterra.
It is all made possible to primary school nationwide by our 10,500 Fonterra Farmers and a large network of supporters.
The students receive this 3 days a week and it is guaranteed to be fresh and nutritious.
Milk is an excellent source of calcium and our students learn about the benefits of having milk in their diet.
