CANTEEN

 

Purpose

*       To provide a service to students, staff and parents who may wish to purchase snacks, drinks and lunches for reasonable prices at the school. 

 

Guidelines

*       The school council, via the Canteen sub-committee, will have responsibility for the management of all canteen operations.

 

*       The Canteen sub-committee should have a mix of parent and teacher members.

 

*       The canteen's operation will depend upon school community needs, its economic viability and the availability of a canteen manager and voluntary workers.

 

*       The canteen menu should reflect a sensible balance between 'healthy' foods and those items that are a 'once a week' treat.

 

*       The Canteen sub-committee, using ideas from the Victorian School Canteens Association and other resources, should encourage eating habits which will contribute to a balanced diet.

 

*       The canteen manager, as a school council employee, will have rates of pay according to the new School Services Officer (1996) structure (SSO1).  Conditions of employment are as per offer of employment.  A written agreement stipulating all the conditions of employment shall be signed by both the manager and the school council president.

 

*       The canteen manager shall report to the Canteen sub-committee on all matters pertaining to the canteen operation and shall act upon its advice.

 

*       The principal, in conjunction with the School Services Officer (Level 3), shall keep a canteen wages book which will be a record of all payments made to the manager.
