Lunchroom

Lunchroom facilities are available to all Glenbrook students, Grades 1 – 6. Currently, most students remain at school for lunch. Students who stay at school for lunch must be registered in the Lunch Supervision Program. You can register and pay online using MyCBE. Please see our Lunch Supervision page for more information.

Students may also access the lunchroom facility on a drop-in basis. The cost is $5 per student per day. The Lunchroom does not supply utensils or have a microwave. Ensure your child has the necessary cutlery in his or her lunch bag, and that your child's lunch does not require warming in a microwave.

Just a few reminders for parents whose children are attending the lunch program at our school. Please review these points with your children, as it will ensure that our program continues to run smoothly and efficiently and that it is a civilized and enjoyable place to eat.

• Your child’s name should be written on any lunch containers, we continue to have a large supply of lunch bags and containers in our lost and found.
• Hands should be washed in the washroom on the way to lunch.
• Encourage your child to eat his/her own lunch only. They are not to trade or share food with the other students.
• We do not use microwave ovens.
• Talk with your child about what they would like in the lunch and ensure appropriate utensils are included. Any food that your child has not eaten will be sent back home in their lunch bags.
• Explain to your child how it is their responsibility to clean up by putting wrappers and scraps of food into the garbage cans provided.
• Lunch Supervisors are to be treated with respect, like they would their teachers. The rules that are enforced in the lunch program are for the safety and consideration of everyone.
• Please advise the school if they will be absent from the lunchroom. This will avoid supervisors searching for them and then having to call home.

Nutrition

Glenbrook School strives to be a Nut Aware school as we do have many students with severe allergies to nuts such as peanuts and other types of nuts in the building. Please do not send any food products that may contain nuts (e.g. peanut butter or Nutella sandwiches, cookies, etc.). Please check and read all package ingredients before sending something with your child to school.  

In addition to this, please do not send pop or candy to school in student lunches and snacks.  Eating habits have been linked to academic performance, behaviour, and self-esteem in children and youth (Walsh-Pierce and Wardle, 1997; Corbin et al., 1997; Whalley, 2004).  Proper nutrition is especially important during childhood and adolescence to support optimal physical, cognitive, and social growth and development and to help develop healthy eating habits now and for the future.  

We appreciate your support of our student safety and well-being when packing lunch. 

Fun Lunches

We have set up the restaurants for the rest of the year for our Fun Lunches. You will be able to go online and order all your school lunches for the rest of the year. This is for convenience only - regular ordering deadlines still apply so you can still order each month as usual or the whole year at once if you prefer. Go to Healthy Hunger to order Fun Lunches for the rest of the year.

See our Calendar page for upcoming dates.

Allergies

Additionally, we have children at our school who are allergic to nuts and related nut products, we strive to be a Nut-Free School. Parents must indicate any special health concerns on the school registration for their child and are encouraged to ensure classroom teachers are also aware of health issues. For more information about this and other health concerns visit our Illness & Medical page.
