Cross Country Canteen
For lunch orders, the Primary Canteen will only be open for collection during standard break time:
2nd Break: 1:20pm – 1:50pm
If you are ordering lunch for your child, please be aware that orders will not be ready for collection until 1:20pm. Orders that are not collected during the designated time will not be refunded or transferred.
⚠️ Note for 8/9 Year Old Students
Due to the Cross Country schedule, we strongly discourage parents of 8/9 year old students from placing lunch orders on this day. Their run times coincide with the collection window, and they likely won't have the opportunity to collect or eat a lunch order. We recommend a packed lunch from home for this age group to ensure they stay fuelled for their event!
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
