Food Services

Lunch Outside with Parents/Guardians

Parents/guardians who wish to accompany their child for lunch in the food court must sign a permission slip with the School SAO personnel to bring out and return their child to school after eating.

Packed Meals

Nutritious snacks and lunches should be properly packed in safe, secure containers. Drinks such as water, milk, or juice must be placed in airtight jugs or bottles to prevent spills inside the child’s bag. Ensure the drink is enough for the entire day.

School Lunch Deliveries

For school lunch deliveries:

  • Parents/guardians must label the child’s lunch box clearly.

  • Lunches must be handed to the school security guard, who will then distribute them to the appropriate learners during lunch break.
