LUNCHES

SNACK BREAK:
During the morning session, all students from Prep through to Year 6 participate in a 5-10min snack break during the first session of school, each day. The teachers encourage students to consume snacks that are healthy in nature and do not create too much mess if accidentally dropped.

LUNCHES and AFTERNOON TEA:
There is no restriction on what the children bring to school for lunches or afternoon tea though we teach and recommend healthy and nutritious food. In general, pack food that is easy to open and eat. Make sure that your child has a wholesome breakfast - otherwise we find them feeling very hungry before recess.

The following suggestions may be helpful:
  • Sandwiches
  • Fruit in plastic containers - please remember to send along a spoon;
  • Fruit such as oranges, apples (if necessary) should be peeled and cut up.
  • Frozen water or juice in the lunch box to keep the lunch cool.
  • Frozen yoghurt

TUCKSHOP
Our school tuckshop operates Tuesday to Friday (not open on Monday). In 2024, the school Tuckshop will be available ONLY online with Our Online Canteen ordering system. Online canteen can be set up via the following link www.QuickCliq.com.au.

Parents will receive a voluntary tuckshop helper’s form to fill in regarding availability to help on a roster. Your help and support is much appreciated. The school welcomes any commitment to provide voluntary help in the tuckshop.


WATER
It is quite acceptable for your child to bring a bottle of water into class in hot weather. Frozen water, though, can cause problems with condensation on the desk so it is best, not to be frozen or alternatively ensure that the water bottle has a towelling cover to avoid condensation.
​
There are refrigerated drinking fountains around the school to access.
