At St Paul’s Way, we are proud of the food experience we offer our students through Olive Catering. Each day, our dining hall is filled with the smell of freshly prepared meals and the buzz of students enjoying a wide and thoughtful menu. Olive Catering provides a healthy variety of options that reflect the diverse community we serve, including halal meals and balanced choices that support wellbeing and learning.

Students regularly tell us how much they enjoy the food and the variety available. Indiya, Year 7, shares, “I enjoy Olive Dining meals because they are very tasty and offer a wide range of options from different cultures. My favourite dish from Olive Dining is the pizza.” Similarly, Mahbeer, Year 9, explains, “I enjoy the school meals because they taste good, are healthy, and the portions are filling.”

The menu’s variety is another highlight for students. Sophia, Year 9, says, “I like the variety of options they provide because I can choose something different depending on how I’m feeling, and there is always something tasty to pick from.”

Special themed menus are also a favourite. Imran, Year 8, adds, “I really enjoy the special food days prepared by Olive Dining, such as Christmas, Diwali, and Eid, etc., because they go all out and prepare delicious food.”

These positive experiences are supported by the friendly Olive Catering staff, who greet students warmly and take pride in getting to know them. Their welcoming presence helps create a dining environment where students feel comfortable and valued.

It is also important to remind families that school meals are free for all students. This ensures that every young person has access to nutritious food during the school day, supporting focus, energy and equality across the school.

This service is a strong reflection of one of our values, community. By offering inclusive, nourishing meals to everyone, Olive Catering helps bring students together and supports a shared sense of belonging.
