From the Canteen - South Plympton

Emergency Lunch Process

At our South Plympton Canteen, we don’t want any child to go hungry at lunch! So, we are pleased to provide an emergency lunch for children who have forgotten to pack their lunch box or did not order on Qkr or place their order in the class box in time. 

To ensure that all our student and staff orders are made on time, we have a standard emergency lunch consisting of: a piece of fruit for recess, and for lunch, the student will be offered one of the following depending on what’s available; a baguette or sandwich, or a cheese and vegemite sandwich. We can only adjust this emergency lunch order to accommodate special ‘dietary requirements’ but not for ‘taste bud preferences’. 

To request an emergency lunch, Junior School students can go to their class teacher or Student Services by 9.30am or come to the canteen with an Emergency Lunch Slip from their teacher or Student Services at the start of lunch. Middle/Senior School students can make the request at the Canteen. Payment is required the following day. 

Please note, we do not check email during the day, so email requests from parents may not be received in time. Calling the canteen with a late lunch order will be treated the same as an emergency lunch, calling the canteen is not recommended as we cannot answer the phone during our service times (recess and lunch times) and messages may not be listened to in time.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
