Canteen/Pelican Pantry
The Pelican Pantry school canteen is open Mondays - Fridays.
The canteen is run as a food service to students and staff under the auspice of the Parents and Citizens Association of the school and approved by the Department Education and Training (DET).
Important Notes:
- Lunch paper bag and cash orders are still available.
Volunteering in the Canteen
The canteen also relies on daily volunteer staff in order to function efficiently. Any profit from the canteen goes, in the first instance, to the canteen to improve the food service. Any funds leftover go to the P&C Association.
· Our canteen cannot function without its volunteers. Do you have any spare time you could donate from time to time?
· Volunteers are highly valued and desperately needed.
· Volunteering in the canteen shows your child that you support the canteen as an important part of his/her school life.
· Volunteering for the canteen is easy - you will receive free training, a free lunch and free choice as to when you work.
We would love to have you help out in our wonderful school canteen. Do you have a spare few hours every few weeks? Or once a month? Contact Jennelle on 4472 4059
What is a Great Choice Healthy School Canteen?
It is evidence that our school meets the requirements of the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy which applies to all NSW Government schools with a canteen.
The strategy is implemented through the Healthy Eating Procedures within the Student Wellbeing Policy and supports a culture of healthy eating at our school by:
· promoting and increasing student access to healthier foods and drinks
· decreasing student access to less healthy food and drinks
· supporting water as a drink of choice
· making a healthy choice an easy choice
The Food and Drink Criteria underpins the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy and applies to all foods and drinks sold in the school canteen. This includes items on the menu, sold over the counter, online, and in vending machines that are for student use.
