Collecting orders
This information will be most relevant if you have a child moving from Prep to Year 1, or Year 2 to Year 3, when the process for collecting their lunch changes.
Fruit snack
Orders are delivered to Prep- Year 2 classrooms by 9.15am.
First break & second break
Prep:
Orders are picked up by the teacher aides or students, brought back to the classroom and handed out to Preppies before going out to first break. **This includes their cold treats like iceblocks or jelly**
Year 1 & 2:
Classes send students to pick up their class basket before the bell and these are distributed to the students before going out to the break.
Students are to use the first 15 minutes eating time for their lunch. When the play time bell rings they can bring their paper lunch bag to the tuckshop window to collect their cold treats.
Year 3, 4, 5 & 6:
Orders are placed in crates that are organised by year level on seats outside the tuckshop. Students collect their orders, use the first 15 minutes to eat lunch, and then come to tuckshop when the play time bell rings to collect their cold treats.
Please let your child know to see Jess in the tuckshop if they can't find their order or have any issues. (If they would prefer, they can find the teacher on duty or their own teacher who will help.)
We will attempt to find any children who have uncollected meals, but if not found the order will be taken to the office at the play time bell.
Over the counter sales and cash limits
Students can purchase packet snacks, homebake items, icecreams, fruit and jelly over the counter with cash. However, please do not send children with any cash higher than $10.
Any monies higher than $10 will be collected from the child and returned to the school office with the child's name, for Admin to notify parents.
Meal Deals and Specials
There are themed tuckshop days for special events, sports days and school activities. As well as a sushi menu for the last day of each term! Keep your eye on parent rep emails and the school newsletter for special days and meal deals that we run throughout the year.
Volunteering & baking
We are always looking for more parents to help keep the homebake items stocked up! If you have the time to bake, whether it's a one off or regularly, please email Jess.
Likewise, volunteers are always welcome! Especially on our busier sports or themed days.
