Our menus provide a specific number of servings in each of the five food groups per day:
2+ Grain Foods
1 Milk or Milk product
1+ Fruit & 2+ Vegetables (5 different across the week)
1 each of Red Meat, White Meat, Vegetarian per week.
1 Fish meal per fortnight
Children also have free access to filtered water, and we provide water at every meal and snack. Milk is offered at every morning and afternoon tea where stated.
Our Under 2s will have a bowl of fresh vegetables every day before their main lunch meal. Our Under 2s children receive the same food as the O2S children, with textures modified or hard food omitted. Babies from 6- 7 months (if on solids) receive pureed foods, 8-10 months receive mashed foods, and 10-24 months receive soft finger foods. Under 2s are given breast milk and/or formula according to their individual schedule, water at every meal, and milk with afternoon tea when food is not daily based - no ham, bacon, or Vegemite for Under2s.
Anisha Patel, our Centre Cook, prepares food daily in our on-premises A Grade kitchen. We avoid processed foods to ensure food is as fresh and nutritious as possible.
