Food at Toroa College
Toroa is all about choice
Food does matter. To perform at your best you need nutritional meals, exercise and rest.
Choose to either completely self-cater or take a meal plan option – it’s up to you.
As part of our commitment to your future development Toroa is the only College at Otago to offer you the chance to try your hand at cooking for yourself. After all, you are going to need these skills once you leave Toroa and begin your journey of independent living.
Want to prepare a snack or a meal?
The kitchens in each of our units are fully equipped. This makes it easy for you to discover your cooking and baking talents. 
Breakfast
Our residents prepare their own breakfast and enjoy it within the comfort of their own unit.
