 Canteen News - Term 2, 2023

What a brilliant Canteen Trial we had on Friday!

 

It was so wonderful to see the joy on all of the children's faces when they realised it was canteen day once again at our school.

 

There were 114 items ordered from students and staff. These orders were from a variety of selections which was great to see. The frozen yoghurts were a popular choice for morning tea & toasted sandwiches for lunch were a real hit.

 

Over the coming week the permanent menu will be drafted and we would like to hear feedback from children and parents on how our trial run went for you. Take into consideration how you ordered, the options you were able to choose from and even the feedback from the children when they came home. 

 

Look out for a survey on compass to help us know what your priorities are and to share any suggestions you might have.

 

The canteen menu has been developed with high consideration to be compliant with the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy. The strategy increases the availability of healthy food and drink options in our school canteen to make the healthy choice, an easy choice. 

 

This sample menu was run at a very high percentage of everyday foods. 

 

 

 

92%  of Green EVERYDAY FOODS 

 

 

 

 

8% of Amber- OCCASIONAL FOODS 

 

 

 

 

 

 0% of Red - NOT RECOMMENDED 

 

 

Canteen will resume in Term 2 on Friday 28th Apr. 

 

Orders will be taken through COMPASS only. 

  •  orders need to be made through the Compass Portal before 8:30am on the day but can be made well in advance if that suits.  
  •  orders may be cancelled up until 8:30am on the day, just in case your child is absent from school for any reason.

If you are ordering on your PC please select your Child's profile, Community, Canteen and it will say 'Welcome to canteen' - Get Started.

 

If you are ordering from your phone you will need to: open in browser, select your child's profile and the canteen menu should be available to you there.
