Dining and Meals
Students' diets, their dining routines and meals are an important part of daily life in the boarding school. Shared meals provide students with time to connect, build friendships, and establish routines that support learning, wellbeing, and independence.
At Hurlstone Agricultural High School, students have access to nutritious, balanced meals prepared to support the demands of academic study, co-curricular involvement, farm activities, and boarding life. The dining hall is a welcoming community space where students from across New South Wales come together each day as part of a supportive and connected boarding environment.
Our approach to dining reflects the values of the boarding school: care, responsibility, respect, and community. Students are encouraged to develop healthy routines and positive habits while enjoying meals in an environment that feels structured, inclusive, and welcoming.
Catering Services
HAHS has engaged the services of Cater Care Australia under a NSW State government contract to provide the culinary requirements to boarders. As an industry leading contract catering, accommodation and facility management service provider, Cater Care are proudly 100% Australian owned and operated.
They have been providing high quality meals to HAHS since 2015 and have been granted an extension to contract to June 2026. Further information about Cater Care can be obtained on their website catercare.com.au
As a boarder your child will have all primary meals provided at the dining room, with all meals being controlled for their nutrition and protein values.
Canteen
The school canteen is open before school, recess and lunch for boarders as well as day students. While the canteen does not extend credit, parents may deposit money into a canteen account for their child to allow them to make purchases without cash.
