An Overview
The MPPS canteen is entirely P&C run and provides a fantastic service for children and parents each week. It's also one of our biggest fundraisers. Every Friday over 400 children are fed recess and lunch. This adds approximately $30,000 a year for P&C fundraising.
Our canteen prides itself on maintaining the WA School Canteen Associations 'traffic light' food grade system, ensuring that we continue to offer healthier versions of convenient, pre-prepared meals, snacks and beverages. It is particularly useful in our school where extensive food preparation is not permitted under current Food Hygiene Regulations.
Finally, with sustainability being front of mind, we are committed to operating our canteen to be as green and sustainable as possible.
Food Orders
Many students order lunch on Fridays which is then either made by parent volunteers on-site, or purchased from local suppliers. An updated menu is below.
We use Spriggy for lunch orders. Lunch orders need to be made by Thursday evening.
If you're new to the school or don't have an existing account it's quick and easy to set up a new account with Spriggy
If you are using an existing account, please remember to update your kids' details:
- year
- class name
- teacher
Over-the-counter cash sales are available for recess only. All the items are $2 each, and while students are waiting in line, fresh fruit and vegetable sticks are provided.
At lunch, students are able to purchase ice slushies for $2 each. These are locally sourced, and meet the WA School Canteen Associations traffic light standard. To minimise our green footprint, all our slushies are served in reusable cups, with reusable cutlery. These are then washed in our commercial dishwasher.
The P&C also runs sausage sizzles twice a term to raise funds. These orders are also made via Spriggy
We need volunteers!
The Canteen is entirely run by parent volunteers. We are incredibly fortunate to have a Canteen Coordinator and a team of volunteers to keep our canteen running smoothly each year.
Each week we require seven volunteers to help in the canteen. The following shifts are available online here SIGN UP
x3 Morning (08.25 - 11.35)
x1 Middle (10.25 - 13.15)
x3 Afternoon (11.30 - 14.00)
Your class rep will let you know when your class is rostered on for the year. Please spread the word and get your names down for these shifts, even if it is not your class's rostered week. If you're unable to volunteer, please find someone to fill a shift for you so we can stay open each week - grandparents and other carers welcome!
For safety reasons we do not allow younger siblings in the Canteen.
Food and cash donations
This year, instead of cash or food donations, an $80 canteen contribution was approved as part of the annual school fees to help cover the costs of food and ingredients each week. These donations assist the P&C to secure wholesale goods from suppliers such as Bakers Delight and Galati & Sons.
The children (and parents) love having the canteen. Through everyone's support we can keep it going strong! 🙏
