• Junior School Lunch Program

  Primary Lunch Program – Kindergarten to Grade 3:

  K–3 students have access to the meal program with our classroom delivered Box Lunch Program. Students can enjoy their meal with our new sustainable program using re-usable lunch boxes and real steel cutlery. Our foodservices team will deliver the boxes and cutlery to the designated area by the classroom. However, the Primary menu has been crafted so the boys don’t need to use a fork and knife. Students on the meal program will get their lunch box from a designated area. After lunch, the boys will return their box to the same area so that a foodservices team member can come to pick up the boxes for cleaning.
  
  K-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. It will be food that they are familiar with but will still be nutritious for our growing boys and they will not need to use a fork and knife. Please view the full Primary Menu here.
  For example: Turkey Snack Box – Sliced Turkey, Marble Cheese, Hummus & WW Pita Triangles, Fresh Grapes, Carrot Sticks or Roasted Herb and Balsamic Chicken Drumsticks, Baby Potatoes, Vegetable Sticks, and Fresh Orange Wedges.
  *Note: this menu is for Grade K–3 ONLY
  
  

  Option 2 – Regular 4–12 Menu:
  This menu is for older grades and staff/faculty and may require the use of a fork and knife. This menu will serve dishes like Baked BC Teriyaki Salmon Fillet with Quinoa and Rice Pilaf, Roasted Vegetables or Roasted Honey Rosemary Pork Loin, Roasted Parsley Potatoes, and Baby Carrots.

  Grade 4–7 Lunch Program:
  Grade 4–7 enrollment will default to the Dining Room Program where boys will be seated at the dining room table to enjoy a community lunch with their peers and teachers. When they arrive in their dining room, students will be assigned their seat for the year and will find their personalized meal waiting for them. Boys will have to finish what is on their plates but can come up for second servings once they are finished.
  
  

  Grade 4–7 students also have the option to eat in their classrooms with the Grade 4–7 Boxed Lunch Program if they do not want to eat in the dining hall. Students can enjoy their meal with our new sustainable program using re-usable lunch boxes and real steel cutlery. Our foodservices team will deliver the boxes and cutlery to the designated area by the classroom. Students on the meal program will get their lunch box from a designated area. After lunch, the boys will return their box to the same area so that a foodservices team member can come to pick up the boxes for cleaning.

• Senior School Lunch Program

  Students wanting to participate in the meal plan will receive their lunch in McLean Hall during their scheduled lunch period.
  
  

  Students that are NOT on the program also have access to having a meal if they forgot their lunch or if they are interested in the daily menu. This menu is posted on the School Website, so students can check to see what is available each week. They can simply swipe their ID card and it will charge them for an “Occasional Meal” at the cost of $11.85.
  
  

  All students must have their ID card at every lunch period in order to access the meal program. If they have lost their ID card, they must contact the IT department to re-issue another one.
  
  

  For any dietary restrictions or special diets, we will have a dedicated station on the Northeast corner station of McLean Hall.

  Tentative Lunchtimes will be as follows — please note timings are not finalized. The final lunch timeline will be confirmed in September with each Head of Grade:
  
  

  Times	Grade
  11:30 am–12:40 pm	Grade 8–10 Lunch
  12:45 pm–1:55 pm	Grade 11 & 12 Lunch

  
  The Senior Meal Plan includes:

  • Access to fruit baskets – handfruits such as apples, bananas, pears, kiwis, oranges etc.
  • Beverages – Ice water, 2% Milk, or the featured freshly made infused water of the day (i.e. watermelon & mint, orange & ginger, strawberry & cucumber, etc.) or all three if he wishes.
  • Entree of the day – we provide a Regular (no restrictions) menu as well as a special diets station that includes options for Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free, and Plain Lean Protein diets.
  • Associated condiments – for example: pasta day would have chilis and parmesan or nutritional yeast, and an Asian-style noodle bowl would have green onions, sesame seeds, soy sauce, etc.
  • Salad of the day – our chef Aaron prepares a beautiful salad of the day with his famous homemade dressing to go along with the entree (e.g. a mediterranean day might have a couscous salad with hemp hearts, arugula, and a homemade vinaigrette).
  • Dessert of the day – for healthy school guidelines, we usually give some sort of fruit from Monday to Thursday and then a treat on Fridays.

  Last year we started a new food program called Powering Performance. It is a program to help students look for and identify with the foods that they are eating and tailor it to their personal needs with these four pillars:

  Strengthen –  Red Icon to look for: For boys that are into working out or a part of athletics
  Recover –  Dark Green Icon to look for: For boys that have just endured a hard competition, exam, physical workout, marathon, etc. and need their body to bounce back
  Focus –  Light Green Icon to look for: For boys that are into activities that require mental strength such as Band, Math, Debate, M.U.N, Art, etc.
  Sustain – Yellow Icon to look for: This is a food that will just get you through the day so you don't feel that afternoon lull where you want to take a nap. 
   
  This is an example of what our menu would look like:

• Boarding Meal Program

  Boarding students will receive three hot meals per weekday as well as generous snacks in between. Their Harker Hall floor kitchenettes are constantly stocked with plenty of food for any food needs in between. Snacks can range from homemade Asian-style baos, to fresh baked goods, to fresh-cut fruit platters.

  
  On weekends, boarders can indulge in a brunch buffet that consists of a variety of items, from made-to-order omelettes to build your own Belgian waffle bar.
  
  Every other month, a Formal Dinner banquet is organized where students will come dressed in their uniforms and treated to a night of community and a delicious buffet of banquet style food.
