Mealtimes: A Healthy Balance of Asian & Western Food
The kindergarten’s kitchen provides two light snacks of healthy finger foods during the school day.
Similarly, fresh drinking water is available at all times during the school day.
Snack is served in our dining area at approximately 10 a.m. and in the afternoons at approximately 2.55 p.m.
The kitchen provides a balanced lunch of Western/Asian food for full day pupils. We offer vegetarian meal options and we also do our best to cater for any special dietary or allergy requirements children may have.
Children are invited to enjoy their lunch in our canteen each day. We encourage children to eat independently and try a portion of everything on their plates. We also encourage all children to eat in a polite and sociable manner. Menu samples are available from the administration office.
