CANTEEN NEWS
As we are moving into the warmer weather, the canteen has added some new and old favourites back onto the canteen menu. Watch out for frozen fruit slices, $1 and frozen watermelon juice icy-poles, $1.50 and everyone’s favourite, slushies in a bigger reusable cup with a reusable spoon for $1.50.
We have also added yummy, fresh fruit salad with an option of adding yoghurt, on the new menu.
Please note, we are using reusable cups, bowls and spoons wherever possible to reduce our school waste. Please support our efforts by returned the containers to the canteen when you have finished with them.
Look out for the message from the sustainability team to help support the return of containers to the canteen.
SLUSHIE CUPS IN TERM 4
In Term 4 2019, the Environmental Team have helped change the selling of canteen slushies into an ecofriendly system.
We have done this by replacing plastic cups and straws with reusable spoons and cups. For each student who brings back the slushie cup and spoon to the canteen, they will get a reward of a sustainability coin. The student can then take the coin back into their classroom and they will be awarded house points, which will be added up into the final score for assembly.
(The teachers will be able to pick how many points will be awarded.)
We hope all students support the use of reusable items at the canteen and this also helps us reduce our waste at school. This will be further explained to the school at next Monday’s assembly.
