St Francis Xavier’s provides an efficient and effective canteen to meet the needs of the school community. Open every Friday for lunch and afternoon tea, the canteen provides a selection of fresh and healthy food choices at an affordable price. The diverse range of food offered and an efficient service are only possible due to voluntary help from parents, friends and relatives of students.

The canteen follows the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy. This government initiative labels three groups of foods:

• Red – Occasional. Do not serve these foods more than twice each term
• Amber – Select carefully. These foods are not to dominate the menu
• Green – Fill the menu with these foods

The canteen also runs three special food days each term. These are determined at the beginning of each term and are advertised through the school bulletin and app.
