On Thursday Week 7 (07/09/2023) we had a Japanese Obento Lunch Day. 22 Reception students enjoyed eating their obento lunch one day before, due to their excursion on Thursday. It was great to see that so many students ordered and enjoyed their obento lunch.

In total 281 obento (152 Karaage bento, 20 Fried salmon bento, 48 Vegetarian sushi bento, 55 Gluten Free Teriyaki chicken bento and 6 Vegan sushi bento) were ordered!! This means that over 56% students at CVPS experienced Japanese obento on that day.

A huge thank you to students, parents/caregivers and staff members to make this cultural event successful.

Also, thank you so much to Matthew, Michelle and Suzie in the canteen for their full support in distributing obento lunch boxes to the students, and to Sue for all the administration work including organising QKR orders.

A special thank you to Nagomi Japanese kitchen for cooking our delicious obento lunch. Students who missed the obento lunch this year or want to eat more Japanese food, you can still experience a tasty Japanese lunch/dinner at Nagomi Japanese kitchen (Shop 5/242 Hutt Street Adelaide  (08) 8232 0944) .
