Canteen News

Hello from the Canteen

We can’t believe it’s the end of term 3 already, it has flown by so fast. We had a really successful Colour Explosion special at the end of week 8 and thank all the students for purchasing from us. 

We will be putting the flyer for Sports Day out on QKR! shortly and encourage students and families to purchase by the cut-off date to save disappointment on the day. 

We would like to thank families for their understanding with the canteen being closed on Tuesdays this term for Karran and Michelle to complete mandatory training but will reopen four days a week from term 4. 

We wish families a safe and happy holidays.

Stock and menu update

Have you noticed a couple of special additions to the menu? These items will be limited availability for now to see how they go. They are Hot Chicken Rolls, Butter Chicken (available in a regular or large serve) and Tuna and Corn Mornay with spiral pasta. 

We are also trialing Golden North Swings (Chocolate, Strawberry, and Banana) which have already been flying out the door. Pringles chips and Veggie Straws are new additions too and have so far been a hit during the last two weeks of term. 

Don’t forget our Krazy Krush promotion will be running in term 4 as well. There have been quite a few winners so far. One random cup in every 10 wins a free Krazy Krush! To claim, the special cup must be returned to the canteen. The free Krazy Krush will be able to be collected the next day. 

Student reminders 

Students with frozen treat vouchers need to make sure they bring them to the canteen to be able to receive their treat. Treat vouchers are now being stamped and checked to ensure students get the correct items. When possible, please don’t send children with notes larger than $10.00 unless you are ordering lunches for more than one child. 

Preschool

It has been great to see some preschool orders coming in the last few weeks! Preschool students are welcome to order lunches, drinks, and snack foods (unfortunately not frozen treats unless you are wanting to order one of our Birthday Buckets) however they must use QKR! to order because they do not bring a lunch tray to us in the mornings. 

Ordering cut-off time 

The cut-off time for QKR! orders is 8.50am each morning. Please check orders carefully and make sure you have selected the right day for your order. If ordering for more than one child, please check that the correct items are listed under each child’s name on the summary screen before you pay. Sometimes QKR! gets overloaded and takes some time to process orders, so try not to leave ordering until the last minute! Any cash orders still need to be brought down in the class tray by 9.15am. 

If you have pre-ordered food on QKR! and your child is going to be absent, please cancel the order by 9.30am or it will be charged for. (Applies to lunch food items only. Drinks, snacks, and ice-creams can be held until the next day) To cancel, ring the front office and ask to be transferred to the canteen. Children arriving late wanting to do cash orders will have limited choices and will not be able to order after 10.30am 

Thank you to the families who have let us know when your child is going to be absent, it means they can get the order on another day and is also reducing food wastage.

Our Canteen Needs You

We really need volunteers to keep the canteen running. Volunteers enable us to cook our delicious and health meals onsite and keep our pricing LOW, students also love to see their families being involved in the school community. We welcome mums, dads, grandparents, carers etc., no experience is. 

If you are able to give the canteen some of your time, please see Karran or Michelle at the canteen or email parent.support483@schools.sa.edu.au.
