Parents are asked not to pack children’s lunches in insulated bags for 2 reasons.

1. There is not enough room in the fridge
2. The insulation does not let the coolness of the fridge into the food contained inside

Please pack your child’s morning tea & lunch in one box and have it clearly labeled with your child’s name. Please ensure the drink bottle is either plastic or metal and labeled also.

In order to reduce our carbon footprint, Bellingen Preschool is requesting that the children’s food is not wrapped where possible.

Lunch boxes with compartments are ideal for this. Please see picture.

If you pack yoghurt, fried rice or other foods requiring a spoon/fork, please provide one for your child.  Also make sure any containers are able to be opened by your child, practicing this at home gives your child confidence to perform this task at preschool.

We have bins for the children to get used to the red, yellow, and green for recycling.  We also have a worm farm for food scraps.
