School Nutrition
Welcome to Our Child Nutrition Program!
At Henderson Collegiate, we believe that every student deserves access to healthy, nutritious meals that fuel both their bodies and minds. Through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), we proudly offer free breakfast and lunch to all our students, ensuring no child goes without the essential nutrition they need to succeed.
Our team is dedicated to creating balanced, delicious meal options that cater to various tastes and dietary needs. Every meal is carefully planned to support students’ well-being, giving them the energy to focus, learn, and grow. We take pride in knowing that the meals we serve are not just filling plates but fueling dreams.
Whether your child is starting the day with breakfast or refueling at lunch, they’ll find options that help them stay energized and engaged in their learning journey. At Henderson Collegiate, food isn’t just fuel—it’s part of our commitment to providing a supportive, inclusive environment where every student can thrive.
Thank you for trusting us to nourish your children. We look forward to serving them each day!
Warm regards,
Angela Murphy
Child Nutrition Director
