Port Dalrymple School understands the importance of providing healthy food and drinks to the students in Kinder to Year 12 from the school canteen.

The school canteen aims to develop student understandings on the importance of healthy eating and provide a range of options for students to eat at lunch and recess time. Nutrition is important to health throughout life, especially during times of rapid growth and development, which is prominent in the school years.

Over the coming months the canteen menu will be reviewed and the menu will change to ensure we meet the ‘Bronze’ standard of accreditation. Please be aware that this will include providing a wider variety of snack options for students and limiting foods and drinks with a high sugar content.

A revised school canteen menu will be published soon.
