AUTO FORWARD Emails from Bishops

WEEKLY Update

Every Thursday afternoon the weekly update will be sent, via email to you. It will contain all the information regarding extra-murals and events for the next week. It is imperative that this is thoroughly read and important dates or events noted.  This supersedes the calendar and all changes from that will be highlighted in the Update.  News and general information updates will also be included.

HOT Lunch

We do not have a tuckshop at the Prep School, but hot lunch is served daily in the Prep dining room. Should you wish to register your son for this service, please take a look at the menu and then click on the blue button below to register. Please complete one form per child.

Summer Menu Term 4 2024  and Term 1 2025

Please give your son something nutritious/healthy to eat for the first break, even if you have put his name down for hot lunch, as it is a long day (something extra if he is playing sport).

Lunch boxes and juice bottles should be clearly marked.

 

REGISTER for Hot Lunch

 

Should you have any queries regarding the hot lunch service, please email prep@bishops.org.za
