Please be assured your application will be treated confidentially and will not affect any other benefits you receive.

Families can order school lunches from home—and many tell us they love choosing meals together with their children! This way, parents and carers know what their child will be eating, and mornings run smoothly at school.

The SchoolGrid ordering system is simple and effective. Once children are on our school systems, a SchoolGrid account is made available for families.

After logging in and selecting your child, you can view the menu and choose their meals for the day, week, or term. Families will be asked to account for any dietary requirements by informing the school and inputting the details into the system.
