CANTEEN
Dear Greenhills Families,
After many years without any price increases to our canteen menu, School Council have recently reviewed our pricing and have identified the following items to be increased from the start of Term 3, 2024.
We apologise for any inconvenience this causes but the canteen has been making a growing loss for some time and to turn this around we are implementing these price changes. We do not look to make a profit on canteen, but merely make it a cost neutral program of the school.
Menu Item | Old Price $ | New Price $ |
| Meat Pie | 4.50 | 5.20 |
| Corn on the cob | 1.00 | 1.50 |
| Strawberry and Chocolate milk | 2.00 | 2.80 |
| Slushies | 2.00 | 2.50 |
| Zooper Doopers | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| Juice cups | 0.50 | 0.80 |
| Moosies | 1.50 | 2.00 |
| Yogurt and topping | 1.50 | 2.00 |
| Potato stix | 1.00 | 1.20 |
| Wednesday Wonders | 5.50 | 6.00 |
Over the next couple of months School Council in conjunction with Miriam will be looking further at the canteen operations and menu.
HELPERS NEEDED
If you have a spare hour on a Wed, Thurs or Fri between 1pm and 2pm, come along and help in the canteen. There is no food preparation involved, it's very simple and the kids love seeing parents there!
You need to have completed the Volunteer Induction, and sign up through CareBookings - www.carebookings.com.au - access code is JGU9L.
Helpers get a canteen voucher for their kids to use for their next lunch order!
From,
Miriam
