OSHC

The School Canteen is committed to providing a broad selection of freshly prepared meals using quality ingredients and is open at both recess and lunchtime for students to access healthy meals at affordable prices. The canteen also does not sell any nut products. Please visit the College Website here to access the service and place your child’s order online. If you do not wish to use the online service, you may use the brown-paper bag system.

Prep - Year Five Lunch orders are to be written on a brown paper bag, with name, classroom, and correct money secured inside. These should be placed in the lunch basket provided in the classroom. The orders are collected at 9.00am and once prepared they will be returned to Student Services. Classroom monitors will collect the baskets at recess/lunch and the teacher will distribute the orders.

Year Six - Year Twelve Students can drop their orders into Student Services before 9.00am and collect their orders directly from the canteen.

Outside School Hours Care (OSHC)

Cathedral College Wangaratta provides an “outside school hours” service (OSHC) providing high quality childcare in a safe, enjoyable and caring environment. The service is provided at a minimal cost and provides flexibility for parents. The service is available five days a week, on student free days and during the third week of the mid-year holidays. There are limited places available. An enrolment form must be completed and submitted to the service before a child is considered to be enrolled. Parents will also need to contact Centrelink to obtain a customer reference number; many families will be entitled to a rebate. OSHC bookings or cancellations must be received before 2.00pm.

Mrs Donna Brokken can be contacted via email oshc@cathedralcollege.vic.edu.au or through Student Services, (03) 5722 2144, to book a place.

Lost Property

Lost property is placed in Student Services. We advise parents to clearly label all items of clothing and other items of property to ensure they are returned in a timely manner.

Chapels and Assemblies

At the end of each term we attend Holy Trinity Cathedral at The Close (41 Ovens Street) for Chapel. Parents and Guardians are welcome to attend these Eucharist Services.

Students will be invited to go on various excursions throughout the year. Additionally, each Year level has a Camp that usually involves a residential component. Permission slips and information will be sent home in advance with details of such events. Excursions are not covered in tuition fees and the cost of the events depends on the nature of the occasion.
