School lunch helpers wanted
Good neighbour is looking for some help with school lunches 1 hour/day. If you are interested, you can contact Christien. Her details are at the bottom of this mail:
Good Neighbour is providing Gate Pa School with healthy school lunches starting on Monday 2nd November. Our goal is to create opportunities for whanau involvement in the classroom. We are asking for initial volunteers to get this up and running until we get parental commitments.
The time commitment is about 1 hour per day
12:45pm Set up lunch trolley at school
1:05pm Lunch service to one class (20-30 kids)
1:20pm Clean up with the Children
1:30pm Children back in class
This is a Monday to Friday lunch time event during the school term. We need one parent/caregiver in each classroom every day to serve lunch to the class and help them with the clean-up (kids have to wash their own dishes). With 18 classrooms we are looking to fill approx. 90 volunteer slots per week.
If you like being around children while encouraging them to eat well and enjoy being part of change then let me know the day/s you can help. We start lunches on 2 November
We have run a trial at Gate Pa School and it was a lot of fun. It was exciting to see children who said “I don’t like that” come back with nacho sauce all around their mouth asking for seconds.
This is a great opportunity to get involved in our community on a short term basis as we are hopeful to have a full roster of trained up school parents on board for Term 1 2021. However, if you are keen to continue into next year we would be happy to have you on board.
Don’t worry - Full training will be provided.
It would be great to hear from you if you are interested in helping with healthy school lunches. It can be a commitment of just one day a week or more if you can.
To register your interest, please contact Lee Pearce 022 162-2921 or Simone Gibson 027 352-3386 or email simone@goodneighbour.co.nz. We would love to hear from you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
