Our school canteen is committed to offering nutritious, wholesome meals to students and staff at affordable prices. We focus on fresh, healthy ingredients to support the wellbeing of our school community.
The canteen is open for school lunches on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Ordering is simple and convenient through the QKR app, which allows families to:
Place orders up until 8:30am on the day of lunch.
Order up to two weeks in advance.
To get started, download the QKR app from your app store and register your children for easy ordering.
We offer two seasonal menus throughout the year, tailored to the weather - cool, refreshing items for warmer months, and hearty, warming meals for colder days.
Wherever possible, meals are prepared on-site using fresh ingredients, helping us:
Limit the use of added preservatives, artificial colours, and flavours.
Better manage sodium, fat, and sugar levels in our food.
We are a nut- and sesame-free kitchen to support allergy management. Please note that eggs are used in some baked goods and mayonnaise. Our menu includes a clear, easy-to-follow dietary index to help families make informed choices.
Our canteen and its equipment are regularly inspected by the Maroondah City Council Health Department, ensuring we maintain high standards of hygiene and food safety.
We are also working to reduce single-use waste and encourage students to use reusable lunch bags when ordering food. More details on our practices can be found in our Canteen Policy, which outlines how we provide a safe and healthy canteen experience for all.
Our canteen thrives on community support, and we always welcome help from school families. If you'd like to volunteer, you’ll need to have a Working with Children Check.
Have a great idea for a healthy menu item? We’d love to hear from you! Your suggestions and support make a big difference.
