About the Canteen

The JPPS Canteen is a nutritious and convenient alternative to providing food for your children at school. Open Monday to Friday during school terms, we provide a lunch order system that operates through your child’s class, as well as an over the counter service for recess and lunch.

There is a wide range of items including:

Sandwiches and rolls
Salads
Hot Food
Drinks
Frozen treats

The canteen is owned and operated by the JPPS P&C and run by our canteen manager Donna Clinch. The canteen is staffed by volunteer parents who work under a monthly roster system. It is a great place to get to know other parents and help out at the same time. We are always looking for help so if you have a day a month, or can come in as an emergency call-in, then drop in and let us know.

With childhood obesity now an important issue, the canteen follows the “Fresh Tastes @ Canteens strategy adopted by the NSW Government. This means that the types of foods we sell are broken down into categories from food that can be sold daily, to foods that can only be sold on two days per term (called Red Zone Days). If you want to know more about this program please call into the canteen and talk to us.

Rest assured that all food sold at the canteen is fresh, tasty and healthy and complies with all appropriate nutritional guidelines.

If you would like any more information on the canteen or would like to make suggestions then you can pop into the canteen to speak to the manager or email us at canteen@johnpurchase.net
