CANTEEN

Term 3 has continued to be a very productive one for the canteen as we continue to see improvement in our facilities with our new oven being delivered and installed. This allows us to do more cooking onsite and contribute to many of our clubs that are run throughout the school. We are excited to be able to become even more involved in school community activities. We are also getting the finishing touches on our coffee/lunch order window and hope to see this operational very soon. 

The canteen recently celebrated “Wear it Purple Day” on Friday, 26 August. This is a day where we celebrate the spirit of our LGBTQIA+ youth and send a message of support to our rainbow school community. We had balloons and purple cupcakes, jelly, donuts and other goodies available at the canteen. It was an amazing day and the reactions of all students who entered the canteen was one of excitement and we are proud of our school community for embracing such an important day with both respect and compassion – key elements of our school’s values! 

We now have three additional students helping in the canteen, Jack, Leonardo and Campbell. Jack and Leonardo (both Year 11) are helping with busy lunchtime service and Campbell (Year 9) is helping with the morning coffee rush and training to be a barista! We are thrilled to be able to offer our students hospitality experience in a busy and thriving school canteen and are also extremely thankful of the extra help to ensure a shorter wait time at the canteen. 

We thank our school community for their understanding and patience when we needed to alter our canteen menu and restrict lunch orders due to resource shortages.
