CANTEEN MENU & PRICELIST
Our healthy canteen is run according to the standard guidelines of the Canteen Association. Our menu consists of amber and green foods only (further information at www.schoolcanteens.org.au).
If your child suffers from a food allergy, please feel free to visit us for more information on our menu items.
We are always open to new, healthy, fun ideas for our canteen – come and share your ideas with us.
The current menu/price list can be accessed here.....
Please use only this new menu as there have been price rises in many of our food items this year.
Look under CANTEEN NEWS for new menu and price changes.
VOLUNTEER ROSTER
The Canteen can only run with parent/friend volunteer assistance. If you can spare some time please consider putting your name on our roster as we really need help. If you are rostered on and are unable to work please try to arrange a swap before contacting the canteen manager.
Your day in the Canteen can be as varied as you like. You could be counting money and checking orders, making sandwiches and wraps, baking potatoes, creating a fried rice, stocking shelves, serving the children…all at the same time as chatting with other parents! We provide you with a healthy lunch and a cuppa, and your children love to come up and see a familiar face serving them. On your rostered day, your child may come to the canteen door (but not inside the canteen) rather than waiting in the queue.
If you would like to help, but cannot manage a whole day, you may elect to do a morning (drop-off till 11.30am) or afternoon (11.00am – 2.00pm). Or even just popping in to help whenever you can manage. We also have an Emergency List. If you would like to help your child’s school by giving some time to the Canteen, please complete Roster Volunteer form and leave it at the Canteen.
If you are rostered on and are unable to work please try to arrange a swap before contacting the canteen manager.
CANTEEN NEWS TERM 4
Good To Go - GONE
Unfortunately our supplier is no longer able to provide the Good To Go yoghurt drinks any more. AND Hot chocolate drinks are only available in Terms 2 & 3.
Recess snacks
Mini pies and chicken tenders are no longer sold at recess (they are still available with a lunch order). Children may buy half hot cheese rolls ($1), quarter toasties (various types incl cheese, ham & tomato - 30 cents each), fresh fruit (from 20cents for an orange quarter) and frozen fruit (pineapple, watermelon and orange (20c - 50c each), banana bread as well as the usual variety of packet snacks, gingerbread men, bread sticks, etc.
Foreign coins
We do not accept foreign coins, and neither does the bank! These coins will be returned on the lunch order and food item/s removed from the order if this affects the total owed! please save your coins for overseas holidays!!
Late orders
Each day we open the shutters at lunchtime to see (sometimes many) children who have forgotten to put their lunch order in. This causes all sorts of problems at the busiest time of the day, especially when we are under-staffed! Could you please remind your child to drop their order off as soon as they get to school. If the order is received after 10.15am, we will only be able to offer a choice of the following: a chicken noodle pot or a sandwich or roll. Very late lunch orders will be offered either a chicken noodle pot or a cheese roll (if available). On occasions we could also offer another hot food item such as a mini pie or chicken tender, depending on availability on the day. If your child has forgotten their lunch, the Canteen will be able to offer the same choice as for late orders.
Forgotten recess
If your child has no food for recess, we will offer them an apple slinky and/or some bread sticks. An invoice will then be sent home with the child. Prompt payment is appreciated.
Frozen items in lunch orders
Frozen items CANNOT BE ORDERED with the lunch order as they will melt before the children can eat them. Please give your child money to buy these over the counter. If your child has ordered a frozen item as part of their lunch order, we will tape their change to the order bag so they may return to the canteen to buy it later....but this is time-consuming!
APPLE SLINKIES!!
Your children may order an apple slinky with their lunch order (or buy one over the counter at recess or lunchtime) and we will create this fun, easy to eat, nutritious snack. Apple slinkies are $1.00. Sorry - we are no longer able to slinky apples brought from home.
