College Cafe

At Seymour College all students from Foundation to Year 12 can access a free breakfast every day.

All mainstream and special education students from Foundation to Year 6 are provided with free morning tea and free lunch.

The senior canteen operates for students in Years 7 to 12, mainstream and special education.

We launched the College Cafe Free Morning Tea and Lunch Program for our primary-aged children after researching similar initiatives at other schools. The Cafe has been in operation since the start of 2023. Since the program began, we have seen an increase in student attendance, improved concentration and behaviour.

Education is the key to our children’s future, and having them establish strong friendships, attend school each day and have the ability to control their behaviours are valued skills to support their learning.

What do parents need to do?

We require you to provide a drink bottle for water. If your child has a food allergy, you will need to fill out the form and return it to the school nurse. The chef will be fully informed about your child’s allergy and will cater for them accordingly.

What if my child does not like the food on offer?

Three choices of food will be on offer at lunchtime so that your child will be able to choose what they eat. Your child will not go hungry.

Where do the children eat?

Your child will eat morning tea in the classroom and breakfast and lunch in the College Café, which is located in the Junior Games Hall.

How do I know what they are eating?

You will have access to the menu via our Facebook and our website.

How can I make the same meals at home if my child enjoys particular meals served at the Café?

Luke, the chef who will be cooking your child’s food, will provide recipe cards for you to make the same meal at home. The recipe cards will be available from the foyer of the Family and Children’s Centre.

Can I send my child to school with their own lunch?

Please do not send a lunchbox as we will be providing food for your child throughout the day.
