Canteen Service
Place an order Spriggy Canteen Menu 2024
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
Last year we introduced Wok n Roll Wednesdays which we will continue this year. This is a lunch service only from the Wok n Roll Menu. Orders need to be placed by Tuesday night.
Friday Canteen services both recess and lunch which is then either made by parent volunteers on-site, or purchased from local suppliers. An updated menu is below. Orders need to be placed by Thursday night. This service only runs if we have enough volunteers. If Friday canteen cannot run then orders will be refunded.
We use Spriggy for lunch orders.
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 Friday recess only. Most 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 Froyos for $2.50 each. These are locally sourced, and meet the WA School Canteen Associations traffic light standard. To minimise our green footprint, the container lids are recycled.
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 five volunteers to help in the canteen. The following Friday shifts are available online here SIGN UP
x3 Morning (08.30 - 11.30)
x2 Afternoon (11.15 - 14.00)
This year we are asking all families to complete at least one canteen shift. Please spread the word and get your names down. 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! This canteen only runs if we have enough volunteers each week.
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, The Cookie Barrel, Just Pizza Company and Urban Forager.
The children (and parents) love having the canteen. Through everyone's support we can keep it going strong! 🙏
