After weeks of late, unsuitable or unsavoury school lunches, two West Auckland schools had their first opportunity to speak to an actual person from the group behind the revamped lunch programme.<\/p>\n
Massey Primary school has been receiving Pita Pit wraps or sandwiches for the past nine days and Lincoln Heights has had butter chicken for 11 days out of 17.<\/p>\n
They are two of scores of schools across the country who have had issues with the new programme, introduced by the coalition government to save taxpayers $130 million a year while maintaining nutritional standards.<\/p>\n
It was day nine of Pita Pit lunches for Massey Primary School in West Auckland. Delivery was an hour late but this time it was chicken teriyaki on rice.<\/p>\n
There was only one certified halal meal, but the school has 50 halal students.<\/p>\n
