Tuckshop News
Dear St. Bede’s families,
Tuckshop is back this Friday – YES- first week back and we are ready! Woohoo!
To all our prep families and new families we welcome you to St.Bede’s Tuckshop and the fun that is associated with it and to all our old families we can’t wait to see you all again!
Tuckshop is a non-profit, volunteer canteen coordinated by 4 parents-Viviana Rossios ( Mia 5/6JC), Lisa Sette(Marcus 5/6J, Roman 5/6JC, & Anna 2S) , Lisa Marulli (Sarah 2M & Emily Prep L), and Linda Cassar (Abigail 5/6J & Chloe 2S) . Linda is our newest recruit to the team and we welcome her onboard whilst the rest of us have been around awhile!
We organise the menu, shopping, ordering and any special themed days. Every Friday over 150 lunch orders are packed weekly with most items prepared and cooked onsite and we cannot do this without the help of our wonderful community.
Every Friday , there is an opportunity for parents, grandparents, and/or special persons to come into tuckshop and help us. It is a great way to meet parents from your year level, parents within the school community and of course seeing the delight on your child’s face when they know mum/dad/special person is at tuckshop ! There is nothing more exciting for a child, than on Friday morning, when they come to tell us with a grin from ear to ear, “my mum/dad is coming to tuckshop today !” making every volunteer moment worthwhile to see their smiling faces.
How do I order?
Ordering is online and easy using the My School Connect online system .
Go to www.myschoolconnect.com.au – create an account and follow the prompts.
Once you have created an account, please go to My School tuckshop on your dashboard to order .
The menu is online and divided into categories.
Please take the time to review the menu as there are many options .
For all returning students – please update your child’s class by edit child’s profile.
NOTE: ALL ORDERS MUST BE IN BY 1pm SHARP THURSDAY . ANYTHING AFTER THAT IS A LATE ORDER AND CANNOT BE GUARANTEED FOR THAT WEEK. ( An order placed 1:01pm is considered late and will not be registered for that week)
What if I have a late order?
Life is buys. We are all busy so if you have forgotten to order tuckshop , please don’t hesitate to contact us via sms or call us. We don’t like children missing out and we will try our best to accommodate a lunch order in some way.
How do I volunteer?
Volunteering is easy by adding your name to the online roster found in your My School Connect Dashboard .
However for this Friday Week 1- please contact anyone of the coordinators below and let us know if you can help out.
We have 2 shifts
1.1030-115pm or (prepping, cooking, packing)
2.1230-230pm ( packing lunch orders, serving at window, cleaning)
Or you can let us know what time suits you as we appreciate any help that you can spare!
Can I make a suggestion?
100% - we love new ideas and new suggestions to our menu. If there is something your child likes, that isn’t on the menu, please don’t hesitate to contact us and speak with us. We will try our best to accommodate as we want your child to have a great experience with tuckshop. We have added something as simply as cream cheese sandwich on the menu – so please speak to us.
In the past we have done themed tuckshop such as Greek, Asian, Royal , Pizza and parma. These have all been done in conjunction with parents (and Brian’s approval) so if there are any special themed days you would like to see and help with please don’t hesitate to chat with us.
To our dear St Bede’s community, old and new, please don’t hesitate to volunteer and speak with us. Tuckshop really is a lot of fun and the joy it brings to all the children is priceless.
Looking forward to seeing you at the fryers-
