Great news!  Our free School Lunches are back in Term 2 with a new menu!  Compass has made some exciting changes introduced in this menu update which they are also confident the students will enjoy, as they have trialled and adapted the dishes based on feedback collected during the past term. 

At an average cost of $3.00 to provide a lunch for your child from home so this is a huge saving for families of at least $15.00 per week, per child! Please encourage your child to eat their school lunch and do not provide a school lunch from home.
