Meals

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS Students with special food requirements must notify the Director of Boarding and provide a letter from a doctor outlining the special diet requirements.

If you are on a very specific diet then you may need to provide food items personally. Vegetarians also need a letter from parents or a medical professional requesting a vegetarian diet plus any specifics relating to vegetarianism. There are limits to the College’s ability to provide a balanced diet for very specialised diet plans.

Meal times are considered to be an important time of the day, therefore all students are required to attend. Breakfast dress is full school uniform. Dinner dress must always be neat, and on occasions, is formal. Full school uniform or good casual clothes (skirts, dresses, trousers, presentable jeans, suitable shoes) may be worn. Tracksuits, pyjamas, torn jeans, rubber thongs or ugg boots are not considered appropriate clothing.

DINING ETIQUETTE 1. Students quietly line up outside the dining room. 2. Year 12 enters first, followed by Year 11, etc. 3. Students stand quietly by their designated chair until grace is said. 4. Each table is asked to collect their meal in order. 5. Late arrivals are required to present themselves to the head table and excuse themselves before sitting down.
