More than 150 Southland and Otago (New Zealand) primary schools will receive an invitation to be among the first schools in the country to receive free milk for their students under the nationwide Fonterra Milk for Schools programme.
The invitation marks the next step in the rollout of Fonterra Milk for Schools which begins in the south of the South Island before working its way up the country.
Fonterra group general manager global co-operative social responsibility, Carly Robinson, said: “We’re all passionate about this and it’s great to be opening up for registrations today. All schools need to do now is sign up and we’ll start working with their teams to deliver dairy nutrition to their students.
“We’ve worked hard to make sure the programme is as easy as possible for schools and that administration is minimal.”
At the end of last year, schools were asked to indicate their interest in the programme to help Fonterra determine potential uptake. The Southland and Otago schools which responded are now being sent application packs to give them more information so they can make a decision on whether to join.
