11. Catering
We would like a better choice of food at breakfast time
A wide range of breakfast items will be on sale from this week, including cereal, eggs, beans etc.
“Grab Bags” containing a sandwich, piece of fruit and a drink will be on sale from this week.
We would like meal deals including a sandwich, drink and fruit/cookie for a set price
We would like to be able to see the menus and prices before getting to the counter to give us time to choose
Menus will be ed out weekly, so you can plan when you would like to buy a meal, and what you would like.
We don’t like having to buy food as a full meal, we want the choice to buy items individually
The caterers are going to look into changing this
The grab bags will be on sale during breakfast time from this week
We would like to be able to buy sandwiches and snacks before school so we don’t have to queue at breaks.
They will look into this, and how you can be involved in choosing the themes
Bring back theme days!

12. New Building Mr Naisbitt will look into this
We need somewhere to hang up coats in the toilets when washing our hands
We need more kiosks to buy food so queues are shorter
An outlet serving pizza, sandwiches etc. will be sited in the main hall.
Short-term: opening the main hall for eating
Long-term: Look into providing a covered area outside for eating
We need more spaces to eat
We made feedback slips that will be in the LRC from this week – please use them!
We want more input with the LRC to make it work for us
