New Paragraph
Canteen Update
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We appreciate your patience and understanding during what has been a challenging start to the year with the CDU campus canteen unavailable. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, the new canteen operator has experienced delays, and the service has not commenced as originally anticipated.
While we work through this situation together and await the canteen reopening, we ask for your support with the following short-term
arrangements.
Where possible, students are asked to bring their own lunch to school.
It is not desirable for students to leave the campus to visit nearby shops, as return times are not always timely and this disrupts learning. Similarly, food delivery services such as Uber Eats or DoorDash rely on third-party providers and do not align with our timetable. Students are also not permitted to collect deliveries during class time.
In the interim, the following options are available to support students:
- Students who are members of Clontarf or STARS may access food through their respective academies.
- The Toastie Room, located near the Engagement Office, is supported by Foodbank and is available for students who may be unable to bring lunch.
- Lovey’s Food Van will be onsite daily at 12:30 pm to support both the CDU and CSC campuses. We encourage students to utilise this service to help ensure it remains viable.
At this stage, CDU Canteen has advised that operations are expected to commence on Monday, 23 February.
Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this situation. We appreciate your cooperation in supporting students to remain on
site and make use of the available options during this interim period.
Kind regards,
Jodie Solczaniuk
Senior Operations Manager
