Gilmore Primary School does not currently operate a canteen.
We are part of the Meals in Schools pilot program. The pilot is providing students with access to free healthy breakfasts and lunches, 3 days a week during school weeks. Meals are prepared by a local catering group and follow healthy eating guidelines. If your child has special dietary needs, please inform the school via the front office and we will work with the food provider to ensure these are met.
There is a strong link between nutrition, learning and wellbeing. Access to meals at school positively impacts learning, understanding of nutrition, and contributes to school satisfaction.
Throughout the pilot there will be opportunities for families, students, and staff to provide feedback on how the Meals in Schools pilot is working. Feedback will help inform the Education Directorate’s evaluation of the pilot moving forward.
