Cafe

At the Smart Café, The Hub and the Cafe at 204, healthy eating is actively promoted. Eating should be fun and emphasis is always on fresh, healthy ingredients and balanced, tasty meals with something to suit everyone's taste buds. Our cafes aim to develop healthy eating through choice, social interaction and principal awareness.
 
School meals are an important means of encouraging healthy eating from an early age. Our cafe menus meet nutritional guidelines. All ingredients are bought fresh and local organic produce is sourced wherever possible.
