At ACS, catering is a vital service designed to ensure students have access to nutritious and tasty meals throughout the school day. Our comprehensive catering program offers a wide range of meals and snacks tailored to meet the needs of all students.

Catering Areas

The main school Dining Hall caters lunch for Middle, Upper & High School students and all staff. It is also the main dining area used by our Boarding students for all their meals.

Lower School students (Grades 1 to 4) have a separate Lower School Dining Hall, apart from the Main Dining Hall, near their playground. 

Early Childhood (upto Kindergarten) students eat in their classrooms within the Village area.

The HUB is an additional area managed by catering. The Hub operates Monday to Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:15 PM, except Wednesdays when it closes at 3:15 PM. It provides a convenient grab-and-go alternative to the dining hall, featuring smoothies, drinks, snacks, toasties, and club sandwiches. 

This area is often used for parent coffee mornings as well as families waiting after-school to socialise and play in the nearby school playground.

During lunch hours, the Hub is exclusively available to Upper School and High School students.

PACKED LUNCH

Whilst some students purchase their lunch in the Dining Hall every day, others prefer to bring a packed lunch. Yet others will often mix and match, bringing a packed lunch on some days and purchasing meals in the Dining Hall on other days.

Your Child's Catering Account

To simplify managing your child’s catering account, we use ParentPay, the school's online payment system. Parents and guardians can easily add credit to their child’s catering account by logging into ParentPay, selecting the ‘catering’ option, and adding the desired amount. Once credited, your child can use these funds to purchase food from school catering.

To speed up service in the main school dining hall (Grades 5 and above), we use biometric and facial recognition scans during meal times. These scans will be set up during orientation day (as long as you have provided consent for these via your PowerSchool Forms)

For Early Childhood and Lower School students, we use the 'Fusion App' to facilitate lunch pre-orders. In August, you will receive an email with a sign-up and onboarding code. By logging into Fusion, you can pre-order meals for your child (It links to your ParentPay account and automatically deducts from your credit for lunches ordered). 

Pre-ordering lunches is essential for these younger groups. It helps ensure your child receives their preferred meals and minimizes food waste.
