Common Questions about First Class Meals
Does the meal change as my child moves up through Primary?
The menu itself stays consistent across Primary, but portion sizes are reviewed by our dietitian to make sure your child always gets the right amount for their age and stage.
Can you cater for allergies or special dietary requirements?
Absolutely. Every meal includes clear allergen information, and we offer options for a range of dietary requirements. If your child has specific needs, our team is happy to help.
