Canteen

Our school canteen offers healthy, affordable food options for students.

The Healthy Eats Initiative is a first of its kind at Lawrence Hargrave School. It was introduced to the school in 2023 to address food inequity throughout the school community. The school’s aim is to provide a free breakfast and lunch to better support students ability to learn in classrooms and improve their overall well-being by ensuring the sustenance provided contributes to a balanced, nutritional diet.

The Healthy Eats initiative has had a positive impact on the school which is evident in student attendance, behaviour, and engagement data. Withing a few weeks of introducing the program, the school saw a significant increase in student attendance. There were fewer negative behaviours at lunch time and after lunch, as well as an increase in student engagement especially after lunch.
