“It is amazing now to see students and staff enjoying a large range of nutritious canteenmade meals throughout the week. Walking through classrooms and the playground at lunch time with the waft of freshly made chicken teriyaki or the crunch of the ever-popular Ramsgate Beach Box is a delight to see”
“We used to sell frozen foods, chips toasties, flavoured milk. Now that we have the new menu everything is made on the premises which is fabulous. It’s going very very well and I’ve had parents come up and actually say how wonderful it’s going. And they’re really quite surprised. The kids have embraced it.”
“To walk around the playground and see the children who previously had no fruit or vegetables tell me they enjoy eating rainbow fruit kebabs, wholemeal bread, fresh salads on rolls – it completely warms my heart.”
“The School Food Project has great ideas for including more fresh food on the canteen menu and supporting school canteens to meet the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy.”

“Every day our children are offered delicious meals that support learning and wellbeing, made from scratch with whole ingredients. It’s been a great success.”
“Each week, we get the most amazing feedback from the children, but we don’t need it, we can see from their empty plates that the food we are growing and serving has the tastes they want. The parents can have a day off the lunchboxes knowing their kids are eating well at a price they can afford.”
“It’s a beautiful menu. It is amazing. And I’m surprised, with cucumber, carrot and tomatoes, normally kids don’t go for that, but they’re loving it. And its popular and it’s growing.”
