Freshly Prepared by Victus Catering

XWA partners with Victus Catering, Singapore's leading independent school caterer, to provide fresh, nutritious meals that support students' wellbeing and learning every day.

Founded by a team of chefs and hospitality professionals, Victus serves more than 8,500 students across five international schools in Singapore. Every meal is freshly prepared on campus using a menu philosophy that combines balanced nutrition with a diverse range of international cuisines, helping students build healthy eating habits while discovering new flavours along the way.

Balanced Nutrition, Tailored with Care

At XWA, every child deserves meals that are both nutritious and suited to their individual needs. Working closely with Victus Catering, we offer balanced menus featuring Asian, Western, vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options, including meals prepared without added gluten, dairy or eggs. The XWA kitchen is not Halal-certified, but Victus Catering sources its products carefully from Halal-certified suppliers, and no pork, lard, alcohol or any form of nuts are permitted in the kitchen.

For students with specific dietary requirements or food allergies, XWA and Victus work closely with families to provide suitable options. While every effort is made to minimise allergen risks, a completely allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed. Families with complex dietary needs are encouraged to contact the catering team directly.

Simple Pre-Ordering, Cashless Payments and Less Daily Stress

School meals should be convenient for both students and families.

XWA uses the Flexischools platform, making it easy to pre-order meals, manage payments and top up a shared family e-wallet through a simple mobile app or web portal.

For younger students, meals can be conveniently pre-ordered in advance, ensuring lunch is ready when they arrive. Older students can simply use their XWA ID card to make quick cashless purchases throughout the campus. Parents can also set spending limits, enable automatic top-ups and manage allergy settings for added peace of mind.

"As a parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident about what your child is eating each day. We prepare every meal with the same care we'd want for our own families, using fresh ingredients, balanced nutrition and flavours students genuinely enjoy."
