We understand the crucial importance of a balanced and nutritious diet for our young men. To support their active, busy lives, our dedicated chefs and catering staff produce over 2,000 fresh meals daily.
Our menus are designed to provide the sustained energy our students require. They focus on fresh, seasonal foods, avoiding added fat, salt, and sugar to help students develop excellent life-long eating habits. All meals are prepared to be both tasty and compliant with nutritional guidelines for adolescents. We are also able to cater for some special dietary requirements and allergies.

Dining as a Community
All students and staff are required to attend the dining hall for all meals, fostering a strong sense of community as we eat together. Our dining halls are appropriately sized at each campus to accommodate everyone. We also ensure flexibility for busy schedules: arrangements can be made for early meals or for meals to be saved for students returning from school or sporting commitments.
