SCHOOL CANTEEN

The school has a Healthy Canteen run by the P&C Association.  The P&C employs two Supervisors (job share) who are assisted by volunteer helpers.  The Canteen operates five days per week and students can order lunch and purchase  “healthy” snacks and drinks at recess and lunchtime.

Lunches are ordered by writing the child’s name, class and order on a paper bag and including the correct money (change will be given if needed).  These bags are put in the Canteen basket in the classrooms at the start of the day.  Lunch baskets are then returned to class at the beginning of lunchtime for students to collect.

The Canteen always needs volunteers to support our Supervisors.  If you are able and willing to help, please phone the school to speak to one of the Supervisors.

Volunteer helpers are a vital part of our Canteen’s operation and your help will be greatly appreciated.

SCHOOL BANKING

Students are able to open an account with the Commonwealth Bank through our School Banking program which is operated by volunteers on a Monday morning.  The school receives funds for all monies banked and students earn bonus interest for regular deposits without any withdrawals.

Older children can continue banking through the school provided they have a younger sibling attending Samuel Gilbert.
