Canteen
The canteen has a policy of providing healthy foods to students and staff. Lunches are available from the school canteen each day of the school year. Menus are distributed at the commencement of each term or can be collected from the office at any time. Parents interested in assisting in the canteen will be gladly welcomed.
The school canteen reinforces nutrition messages being taught in the classroom by modelling food and drink choices that are tasty, interesting and affordable.
The school canteen supports healthy eating by:
- Ensuring that the menu consists of at least 60% GREEN rated foods and have a 40% maximum of AMBER rated foods.
- Promoting a wide range of GREEN rated foods that make up the majority of a healthy diet .
- Having AMBER rated foods available only sometimes, choosing healthier alternatives and avoiding large serving sizes.
- Avoiding RED rated foods that do not meet the minimum nutrient criteria.
Parent volunteers are integral to the success of the school canteen. Parents wishing to volunteer to assist can contact the canteen on 9093 2351.
*Canteen days for 2019 are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
