Our talented and very friendly catering team prepare nutritious, wholesome food tailored for busy growing teenage girls.

Menu

A summer menu covers terms 1 and 4 with a winter menu covering terms 2 and 3. Menus change each term and operate on a 4-weekly cycle.

A dietician reviews the menu annually to ensure it is appropriate to busy, growing and active teenage girls.

The menu developed by the catering team is extensive and incorporates the taste of the Boarders. Those with special dietary requirements are well catered for with options available daily for those with gluten intolerance, dairy free, vegetarian etc. We ask parents to notify us in writing of any changes to dietary requirements to those listed on enrolment forms.

Meal Times

Boarders are expected to attend all meals except by prior arrangement with a supervisor.

Snacks

Tea, Coffee, fruit, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, breads, spreads etc are available at all times for boarders to help themselves to. Boarders have access to these items from a kitchen area beside the dining room that has a microwave, hot water, crockery and utensils.

Late Meals

Those requiring a late dinner because of sport or co-curricular activities need to book a late dinner by completing the registration sheet located at the entrance to the Bishopscourt dining room.

Packed Lunches

Packed lunches are made available upon request by completion of the appropriate request form obtained from a supervisor. Weekday requests are accepted up to dinner time the night before. Weekend requests must be received by afternoon teatime, the Friday prior.

Special Dietary Requirements

Boarding students who have special dietary requirements should register this information with the Director of Boarding or a supervisor.
