• Junior School Lunch Program

  Primary Lunch Program — Kindergarten to Grade 3:

   

  Kindergarten–Grade 3 students can access the Meal Program with our Classroom Delivered Box Lunch Program. Students can enjoy their meals with our sustainable program using reusable lunch boxes and real steel cutlery. Our Food Services Team will deliver the lunch boxes and cutlery to students’ classrooms. The Primary Menu has been crafted so the boys don’t need to use a fork and knife to enjoy their meals. Students on the Meal Program will get their lunch boxes from the designated area close to their classrooms. After lunch, the boys will return their box to the same area where the Food Services Team will collect the boxes for cleaning. 

  
  K– Grade 3 students have TWO options for menus:

  
  

  Option 1 — Primary K-3 Menu:

  This menu is created by our chefs specifically for this age bracket, serving nutritious foods that are familiar to kids. These meals do not require cutlery to ensure that every boy can enjoy their meal without any hassle between classes.  
  
  Please view a sample of the Primary Menu here.

  
  

  This Lunch Menu include a variety of nutritious options such as: Turkey Snack Box: Sliced Turkey, Marble Cheese, Hummus & WW Pita Triangles, Fresh Grapes, Carrot Sticks, or Chef Jeff’s Chicken Noodle Soup with Mini Pretzel Roll, a side of seasoned cold Edamame, and Fresh Orange Wedges.

  
  Note: This Menu is for Grades K-3 ONLY*

   

  Option 2 — Regular 4-12 Menu:

  The Regular Menu is the standard option for all Grade 4–12 students, as well as Staff and Faculty. This menu may require the use of a fork and knife. This menu includes options such as Baked BC Teriyaki Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Rice Pilaf with Roasted Vegetables, or Roasted Honey Rosemary Pork Loin with Roasted Parsley Potatoes and Baby Carrots.

  Grades 4–7 Lunch Program:
  
  

  Grades 4–7 enrollment in our Lunch Program will default to the Dining Room Program, where the boys can enjoy a community lunch with their fellow students, teachers, and staff in our beautiful Dining Hall. When the boys first arrive in the Dining Room, they will be assigned their seat for the year, and will find their family style food platters waiting for them.  Any boys, staff, or faculty with a registered dietary restriction is invited to come up to the main kitchen server to get their meal.

    

  Grades 4–7 also have the option to eat in their classrooms with the Gr. 4–7 Boxed Lunch Program if they do not want to eat in the Dining Hall. Please note that the procedures for this service have changed this year. Students are able to enjoy their sustainable Meal Program using reusable lunch boxes and real steel cutlery. Students on the Meal Program will get their lunch box from a designated area on the first floor. After lunch, the boys will return their box to their designated drop off area. Then the Food Services Team will collect the boxes for cleaning.

  Powering Performance Program
  
  To help students identify their own nutritional goals, this will be the third year we're offering our Food Program, Powering Performance. Powering Performance is a program to help the boys look for and identify with the foods that they are eating. This program tailors to the boys’ personal needs with these four pillars in mind:
  
  

   

  Strengthen (Red Icon):  For boys who like to work out or who are a part of an Athletics Program.
  
  

  Recover (Dark Green Icon): For boys who have just endured a hard competition, exam, physical workout, marathon, or other strenuous activities and need their bodies to bounce back.
  
  

  Focus (Light Green Icon): For boys who are participating in activities that require mental strength such as band, math club, debate, M.U.N, art etc.
  
  

  Sustain (Yellow Icon): These are foods that will energize the boys throughout the day so they don't feel that afternoon lull that makes them want to take a nap.
