Canteen News

We would like to introduce the St Joseph’s Primary School Canteen and ourselves Mel Lyngcoln and Tamara Bellingham, the managers. We have been working in the Canteen together since 2017 and we enjoy our roles immensely.

The Canteen is open every Friday from 8.30am to start the days orders. Menus are provided in the Canteen, the schools website in the office and on our online system www.quickcliq.com.au . The online system you can order up until Wednesday 11.00pm each week. We do not have enough room in the canteen to store a large range of food items for this reason we will no longer be taking orders after Wednesday each week this is both online orders and paper (if you can’t access the online order system). We don’t want to upset anyone with this news however no orders will be processed on the day.

 So we are asking you to please think ahead and order in advance. The best part about ordering online is you can order up to 28 days in advance and we recommend you do this. If for any reason your child is not at school on one of the days you have ordered simply let us know by 9am Friday so we can cancel and refund your order.

 Although the canteen has regular “staff”, it is parent volunteers that are crucial to the success of the Canteen. They are our most precious resource and are essential for the smooth operation of the Canteen. They allow us to provide a quality service at very reasonable prices.

Being a Canteen volunteer is not all hard work, we usually have a lot of laughs whilst getting the job done and you will meet other parents too. As a Canteen volunteer we provide you with bottomless cuppas and again plenty of laughs. Volunteers are required from school drop to 1 – 1.30pm. We promise to make you feel very welcome.

To join the Canteen volunteer team, please email us on canteen@sjcribpoint.catholic.edu.au or simply pop in and tell us which day you are available. You do need to have a current working with children’s check, to be a volunteer in the school these are easy to get and free to apply for. Unfortunately, due to safety reasons no children are allowed to be in the canteen. Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Mel and Tamara
