An option for everyone and healthy food choices develop good eating habits

Kristin believes that a parent's investment in an Independent School goes beyond academic advantage; their children should experience more and enjoy greater opportunities in every aspect of their growth.

As a result we have developed a menu of nutritious and tasty food choices to suit the whole school family. To assist the process we sought advice from Auckland Regional Public Health Service dieticians and acclaimed food critic, Peta Mathias.

The menu caters for a wide range of tastes with wraps, pasta, salad, quiche and frittata, pizza, sushi, fruit salad, brownies, muffins and biscotti - even Jester's Pies (although only the varieties that fall within approved nutritional guidelines are stocked).

As part of the curriculum students learn about healthy eating so the school felt it was important to reinforce that through the food and beverages it provides. For example no fizzy drinks are available, instead bottled water, juice and small portions of reduced-fat flavoured milk are offered and apples are free with every lunch.

nutriSmart's focus on service provides web-based pre-ordering, and swipe-card purchase facilities for students are linked to a pre-paid accounting system which provides better security and gives parents information on what their children are buying and how much.
Pavilion Café

The Pavilion Café is specifically for Senior students, staff and visitors to the school. It offers a café environment with over-the-counter service and barista coffee with the option to dine outside on a balcony overlooking the sports grounds.
