The Healthy Hut
At Holy Rosary Catholic School “The Healthy Hut” Canteen will be open on Thursday and Friday to meet the needs of our school community.
A variety of healthy products will be available to our students, most of these products are prepared and cooked in our school canteen.
We offer a healthy and varied Canteen menu for lunch orders and counter sales.
To continue to successfully maintain our “Gold Accreditation” and to ensure our canteen will operate efficiently and smoothly, we need voluntary assistance from parents, grandparents, carers, etc. You can find the requirements to volunteer to assist in the canteen here and if you are able to assist please complete the Interest in being a Volunteer form, and return it to the School Office.
The Canteen is a registered food business with the Glenorchy City Council and is located on the school premises in the quadrangle outside the Administration building.

Cyber Safety
Cyber Safety refers to the safe and responsible use of information and communication technologies. This includes privacy and information protection, respectful communication and knowing how to get help to deal with online issues. Common cyber safety issues include:
- Cyber Bullying
- Sexting
- Identity theft
- Predatory behaviour
Cyber safety issues most commonly occur through a student’s use of their own technology device, for example, smart phone, tablet, laptop, home computer.
Holy Rosary Catholic School recognises its duty to students to provide a safe and positive learning environment which includes the responsible use of information and communication technologies.
Cyber Safety is a “whole of school community” approach involving students, staff and parents/carers.
