Food and drink at school

​

Food

We encourage children to eat their lunch several times throughout the day, and your child's homeroom teacher can let you know how that works in their space.  Some of the Junior ALS may also have a feed and read time built into their programme in addition to the morning tea and lunch break.  

 

We encourage recycling by using reusable bags rather than Glad Wrap, and all rubbish is taken home in their lunchbox, along with any leftover food.   

​

As much as possible, we encourage children to eat healthily.  With this in mind, we do not allow chocolate and lollies in school lunches.  

 

At various times throughout the year, we may run bake sales to raise money for school camps or other activities.  You will be notified of these, and the process for purchasing them for your child in our school newsletter.  Usually, it's a gold coin per item.

 

We try to help out by organising lunch options now and then.  Here is a summary of what is currently on offer:​

• Friday Sausage Sizzle: the Year 8 team raise money for their end-of-year fun by organising the weekly sausage sizzle.  All orders are made via Kindo (the deadline is 3pm on a Thursday).   

• On Wednesdays, TSushi is delivered.  Orders are made via Kindo (the deadline is 8pm on a Tuesday).

• Every second Wednesday Subway is delivered.  Orders are made via Kindo (the deadline is 8pm on a Tuesday).

​

Drinks

Water is the best drink for school, and you can either send your child with a named drink bottle, or they can use the drinking fountains at school.  

 

For safety reasons, glass bottles and containers are not permitted.  ​

​

Energy drinks, fizzy drinks (including Prime), and milkshakes are not allowed at school.
