School Meals
Our nutritious school meals help students flourish by giving them the right balance of nutrients and energy to enhance concentration during afternoon lessons, in assembly or on the sports field. It contributes to building lifelong healthy eating habits that will allow them to flourish as their minds and bodies grow. We believe school lunch is a fantastic way for students to share the experience of trying new foods. Knowing that your child is having a healthy, delicious meal every day is one less thing for you to worry about.
All the food on our menu is prepared and cooked in the school kitchen by our highly qualified and experienced catering team. We’re proud of our support for local suppliers – sourcing the best possible quality ingredients and produce from well-respected farmers and growers.
