Our Canteen

 

 

Who Runs The Canteen?

The canteen is operated by Made Fresh.  The canteen staff are available 5 days a week.

When is The Canteen Open?

During the COVID-19 period, the canteen is operational between 9am to 2pm Monday - Friday during school terms.

If the canteen closes on a particular day, a notification will be sent via the SkoolBag app and/or the school newsletter. 

What Does The Canteen Sell?

The menu and food items can be viewed on the Flexischools website/app. 

Go to www.flexischools.com.au

The canteen’s menu and food items comply with the NSW Healthy Canteen Strategy administered by the NSW Health Department and Department of Education. 

What Is Flexischools?

Flexischools is an online application available for parents/carers to place a lunch order or make a purchase for their child/ren. 

In order to make an online lunch order for your child/ren, the parent/carer needs to register an account at www.flexischools.com.au

How Can I Order Lunch For My Child/ren?

All lunch orders are to be made online via Flexischools. 

Please go to www.flexischools.com.au to register for an account. 

The canteen will also accept written lunch orders.

Lunch orders can include sandwiches, hot and/or cold food items, snacks and drinks. 

Additional food items like sushi are available every day. 

Cut Off Times For Lunch Orders

The cut off time for online lunch orders is 9am (Monday - Friday). 

If you miss the 9am cut off time, lunch orders can still be placed after 9am to 10am by visiting the canteen with a written lunch order.

After the final 10am cut off time, your child(ren) will need to come up to the canteen at lunchtime to ask for lunch. The canteen will be able to offer a choice of sandwiches, and hot food options as well as drinks, fruit and snacks.

An invoice will then be sent to the parent/carer with the student, and payment can be made at the canteen the following day.

Parents/carers are encouraged to place lunch orders the day before or in advance for a whole week or more if desired.

Unless otherwise advised by the parents/carers, the canteen will not allow a child(ren) to go without something to eat at lunchtime. 

How Do Lunch Orders Work?

A label with your child's lunch order is printed and then placed on a white paper bag and processed. 

At lunchtime, lunch order monitors (assigned from each class) collect the lunch orders from the canteen in their designated class baskets. The baskets are taken back to the classroom for distribution. 

Lunch orders which contain any frozen treats/items must be collected from the canteen. The student is required to present their lunch bag which lists frozen food item for collection.

We encourage students to collect their food items before 2pm. 

Over The Counter Sales

Students can buy over the counter food such as popcorn, drinks, icy treats, snacks etc. during recess and lunchtime periods. 

What Happens If Your Child Has Forgotten Their Lunch?

The child is encouraged to speak to their teacher and the canteen will provide them with a sandwich. An invoice will be given to the student to take home with the total amount owing. This invoice can be paid at the canteen the following day.

How To Pay Your Invoice

Cash is accepted over the canteen counter.

Communication With Canteen Managers

Please ring between 9am - 2pm if you wish to speak to a canteen manager.
