School Food
In the evenings, the St Francis College’s boarders enjoy a range of incredible dinners from all over the world, ranging from Germany and Italy, to South Korea and China. Every night, the chefs offer up different amazing meal options which include a healthy range of proteins, vegetables, carbohydrates, salads, desserts and vitamin-enriched drink choices.
At weekends, things are a little more relaxed and boarders can enjoy a full brunch buffet with both hot and cold breakfast food a little later than the weekday breakfast time.
The boarders can also have an input into what they have at mealtimes at our half-termly Food Council meetings, and the chefs will creatively implement new ideas into their menus.
