Our school uses Swift Kitchen, an easy-to-use online system that allows parents and carers to view menus, order meals in advance, and make secure payments.

With Swift Kitchen, you can:

• Browse the weekly menu
• Pre-order your child’s meals
• Manage dietary requirements
• Top up your account online

We encourage all families to use the system regularly to ensure your child receives their preferred meal.
