Recess, Lunch and Canteen

Outside Play

Recess: 10:50am - 11:20am (snacks are eaten inside 15 minutes before outside time)

Lunch: 1:20pm - 2:00pm (lunch is eaten from 1.10pm before outside time)

*Please note that recess and lunch times will vary for Preps for the first few weeks of school until they've settled into school life.

Canteen

The school has a canteen operating each week day. Orders are distributed at lunchtime by the classroom ‘Lunch Monitors’ (Monitors are chosen by the class teacher and all children are given the chance to be one!) Our canteen is operated by H & H Catering and Vivian is our Canteen Manager.

Lunch orders are made online by registering and creating an account via QuickCliq.

SIMPLY REGISTER AT: www.quickcliq.com.

During recess and lunchtimes the canteen is open for over the counter sales for children to buy snack foods and drinks. Parents are requested to minimise the amount of cash children bring to school. The Prep teachers introduce the canteen to the Prep students late Term 1. We recommend that lunch orders and canteen money is not used until Term 2.

Alternatively, lunch orders can be brought to school. Correct ordering is essential: Please write clearly, in pen on the lower half of a CLEAN paper bag, as in the following example:

student name

Prep M

Teacher: Miss Mozzie

Order

E.g. 1 Salad sandwich 3.00

1 Apple 1.00

Total 4.00

Amount enclosed 4.00

A canteen list of available foods is available on Compass under School Resources. Menus may change seasonally.

The aim of the canteen is to provide healthy choices at reasonable cost. Canteen operation is overseen by the School Council Health and Nutrition Sub-committee who meet at least once a term to oversee the menus.

Attached is the 2023/4 Summer menu. This may change for next year.

Meet the teachers!
