Our Food - Meet Capitol Caterers

Meals are taken in the dining hall.  All boarders are expected to come to the  dining hall for 3 meals a day. In addition to 3 meals, students are provided with  a morning tea time snack. Bread, fruit and condiments are provided in the  evenings in each hostel.  

The kitchen is run by an independent caterer who provides a nutritious and  varied menu. At Waterford Kamhlaba UWCSA, we place great importance on  offering nutritionally balanced meals that meet the dietary needs of the  average  adolescent. 

Our menus are thoughtfully planned to provide variety, with several options  available at each meal, including the choice to add healthy sides such as  vegetables and fruit. 

This approach encourages learners to begin making decisions about their own nutrition. With this greater freedom comes a shared responsibility, and we warmly encourage parents and guardians to have conversations with their children about healthy eating habits before they embark on their boarding school journey. By working together, we can help each student build lifelong, healthy eating practices.
