Canteen

Canteen 

Welcome to our new preps; it's been lovely seeing their smiling faces at the canteen window.

I hope everyone had a wonderful break and is excited to be back! We have some exciting special events planned for this year.

The canteen’s exterior is being upgraded this year. We have a bright new façade, which is a work in process and will soon have new outdoor furniture. Pop- in and have a look. The coffee machine will be on!

Volunteers – Please help:

Unfortunately, due to families youngest students moving onto High school, the number of helpers this year is at a low point. Please consider helping if you are able, or out-source to a friend or relative. Everyone is made to feel welcome and working in the canteen is a great way to meet other families. If you are unsure, please call Wendy on 0438 553 177 or drop in on canteen days.

A few notes about lunch orders:

• All lunch orders must be processed through My School Connect. The cut off time is 9.30am on the day required, however orders may be placed in advance
• Reusable Lunch order bags can be used and are available at the canteen and on MSC, selling for $13. Please tick the reusable bag option on your child’s MSC order. There is no need to include the order with the bag. Please ensure your child’s bag is named and class updated for the year. Please remind your child to place their reusable bag in their classes’ lunch order tub
• When finalising your order, please ensure the “Your Order Has Been Processed” screen appears, and your see a green 'thumbs up'. You will also receive a confirmation email
• Please remind your child that they have a lunch order on the day!
• If your child is unwell and you have already placed a lunch order, please either cancel the order through MSC before 9.30am or call the canteen so the order may be cancelled. Orders that have been prepared without notification of absence may not be credited. Thank you for your understanding
• The canteen window is open each recess and at lunchtime on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for over the counter cash sales. Items that have been ordered through MSC can be picked up at recess. We also open after school on Fridays 
• If your child has allergies or anaphylaxis, please either drop in or call me to discuss items that may be suitable. I try very hard to ensure all students can order from the canteen

My School Connect has a 7 day a week support line – please call 8669 1869 if you                                 are having any difficulties.

Pancake Morning Tea:

Our first special event for 2020 will be a Pancake Morning Tea, which will be held on Tuesday 25th Feb. Orders are now live on My School Connect and must be completed by Wednesday 19th February.

Please remember when ordering on MSC, if you don’t receive a thumbs up and confirmation email, I won’t receive your order.

I’m also looking for helpers on the day between 9am – 11am. Please leave your details at the office or add them to the sign up page on        My School Volunteer. Thank you.

Healthy Habits:

I’m constantly trying to think of new ways to encourage our students to choose one of the many healthy items on our menu. I have added an option on My School Connect, where healthy items are offered when those ‘not so healthy’ options have been selected. Healthy green items which can be added

quickly to meals include: Vegie Sticks with dip, apple slinkies, fruit salad, mini garden salad and water. Let’s see if we can get everyone ordering something from the green ‘thumbs up’ category with each order!

A Little Something Special:

This year, instead of having specials which run for two weeks, I will be offering items that will only be available for a short time. The first of these specials will be White Choc and Berry Muffins available this Friday, 14th Feb – Valentine’s Day.

Thanks
