SUSHI UPDATE

Already this year I have had several requests for sushi with either added or removed items ie: smoked salmon without the avocado, tuna with no mayo, plain with avocado. As much as we’d love to be able to accommodate all tastes, these requests are unable to be filled, and result in disappointed children at lunchtime. Our very delicious sushi is supplied fresh daily by Satsuki Café in East Malvern and comes in a range of tastes, but is limited to EXACTLY what is printed on the school menu. Please do not ask for variations, as the café supplies many schools, and can’t be making individual pieces to order (exceptions may be made for certain food allergies if agreed to with canteen and café). Please note that the “plain” sushi is rice only. The tuna & mayo, vegetarian, smoked salmon & avocado, and plain sushi are all gluten free, the chicken teriyaki and beef teriyaki are NOT gluten free. Sushi is very reasonably priced at $2.80 for a fairly large serve. Wasabi or Soy sauce are 20cents extra.

PREPS SPECIAL CANTEEN INTRODUCTION

As the weather is supposed to be very hot tomorrow (Wednesday),  I will be having a special extended opening time from 2.00-2.15pm in order for the Preps to come to the canteen window with a parent or guardian after early dismissal to buy a treat from the freezer. This will serve to introduce the preps to the concept of the canteen by allowing parents to help them buy something. We have a range of drinks and frozen items, but on such a hot day the slushie machine will be empty by the end of lunchtime, so please don’t promise your prep a slushie! This is a one off opening of the canteen, so please share this information with all other prep parents you know in case they haven’t read the newsletter.

CANTEEN BAGS

Please remember to buy your lunch order bags in packs of 20 ($2) or 50 ($4) from the canteen. We find that some items (pizzas and potatoes especially) simply don’t fit in a regular bag, and some orders with more than one item won’t fit either. Please ensure the bags you use are large and strong enough to contain the food ordered. The ones we supply really are the ones we prefer, and are not a major investment!

VOLUNTEERS

The canteen roster will be sent out next week. For the rest of this week, due to the expected hot weather, I really need helpers for Wednesday (11.00-11.20am or 1.00-1.30pm) and Thursday (1.00-1.30pm) to help serve at the counter. Most sales are for icypoles and slushies!

Many Thanks,
