More of What We Offer


We provide lunches each day at The Village inclusive in the fees.

We ask parents to provide two (2) pieces of fruit each day their child attends for the children’s morning and afternoon teas.

All meals are nutritionally balanced to include the correct serves of each food group per day. Weekly menus are displayed throughout The Village.

Fresh fruits are offered for morning tea, and afternoon teas (2:30 pm and again at 5:00 pm) also include fresh fruit platters.

Children are more inclined to try new foods when they see other children eating those foods and our parents are often surprised and happy to find their children eating a range of nutritious foods they wouldn’t previously have eaten.

Morning Tea:  Fresh fruit platters

 

Lunch: consists of hot dishes such as Fried Rice, Spaghetti Bolognaise or Chinese Noodles alternated with a variety of sandwiches, including:

  • Pink Salmon or Tuna
  • Ham with cheese or avocado
  • Cheese, tomato, cucumber & lettuce
  • Cheese and beetroot
  • Baked Beans
  • Cold Meat
