Milk
Milk is provided free of charge for all children in school under the age of 5. Once your child reaches the age of 5 you have an option to pay for milk. This will ensure that your child continues to receive milk each day.
Milk can be ordered from our School Milk provider, Cool Milk. The school office will contact you when your child is 5 to find out if you would like to continue to pay for milk.
Children who do not have milk are provided with water.
