Am I kidding myself thinking DD can go to school with minimal pre packed foods?

NOOOOOO, dont give up. It can totally be done.

I'm a teacher and see the crazy and amazing things which people pack into their kids lunchboxes.

I'll be back with some ideas later.

I agree! I think you can do it, b ut it just takes a bit more work! My mum used to send us with homemade fruit salad, carrot sticks, ziplock bag with crisps as a treat, juice in a Tupperware drink container, a garden salad, and a whole tomato (otherwise it got soggy, so Id cut it up when I ate it - I WAS late primary but then though)
If she was desperately busy it was vegemite sandwichs and a muesli bar, with a piece of fruit, but usually she found time the night before, or we did it with her before bed.
