A principal's sceptical about the Government's ambitious school lunch budget.
The Government says it's saving $130 million a year by reducing the cost per meal from $8 to $3.
Schools preparing meals internally will get $4 a student to keep hiring people to prepare food.
Greymouth High School principal Samantha Mortimer told Ryan Bridge that hungry children will eat anything, but they deserve high quality food.
She’s questioning how everything will be done for that price, as it’s not just about the food, there are costs around production, wages, and transport.
