Boarding Dining & Nutrition

Home / Boarding / Dining & Nutrition
At Assumption College, we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our boarding students by providing a varied, fresh, and nutritious diet. Our tasty meal plans are thoughtfully designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing bodies while accommodating any special dietary requirements. Meals are prepared by a specialised catering company that works closely with the College to ensure quality and variety.

Daily Dining Routine

Breakfast

Breakfast is a communal experience shared in the kitchen areas of each boarding house. Students enjoy a nutritious start to their day, with breakfast completed by 8:15 AM to ensure they are ready for school.

Lunch

Lunches are provided to boarders during school days and are prepared based on orders submitted the week prior. This ensures students have access to meals they enjoy while meeting their dietary needs.

Afternoon Tea

After the school day ends, boarders can enjoy a light afternoon tea in the boarding houses, offering a chance to recharge before evening activities.

Dinner

Dinner is served at 6:15 PM, typically in the Le Rosey Centre, where students gather for a communal meal. For those with valid reasons, such as sports practices or excursions, late meals can be arranged to ensure no one misses out.

The Ref

A fun and cherished part of Assumption College’s history is “The Ref,” short for “The Refectory,” where boarding students historically ate their meals. Today, The Ref serves as the school canteen and is open before school, at recess, and during lunch.

The Ref offers a wide variety of food and drinks, including:

  • Fresh sandwiches and salads
  • Hot foods
  • Chocolate bars, chips, and snacks
  • Beverages such as soft drinks, juice, and water

While The Ref is closed after school, it continues to cater to special dietary requirements, with details available through the FlexiSchools App.

Catering to Special Dietary Needs

We understand the importance of catering to individual dietary requirements. Whether for allergies, intolerances, or personal preferences, our catering team ensures that all students have access to meals that meet their needs.

At Assumption College, dining is more than just a meal, it’s an opportunity to build community, share experiences, and ensure every student is well-nourished and ready to thrive.
