Canteen Update

February 9, 2026

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

Dear Parents and Carers, At our college, the safety and wellbeing of students and staff is always a priority. As part of the Northern Territory Department of Education guidelines, we practise our emergency procedures so that everyone feels confident and prepared. In the near future, we will be conducting a practice invacuation (lockdown) drill. This is a routine activity that helps students and staff understand what to do in a calm and supportive environment. During the drill, students will be asked to follow staff instructions, which includes not contacting parents or guardians at that time or use of their phones. This helps us ensure the process runs smoothly and mirrors real procedures. Please be assured that in the unlikely event of a real emergency, families would be contacted by the college as soon as it is safe to do so. We appreciate your support in reinforcing the importance of these practice drills and helping students approach them in a calm and positive way. Kind regards, Steve Smith Principal
