Our Canteen is run by our FABULOUS Canteen Staff Becky McGowan, Anna Gowan and Kat Wadham as well as our wonderful volunteers.

The canteen is open every school day for morning tea and lunch orders as well as at lunch time for purchases over the counter. We have canteen made baked goods as well as yummy snacks and frozen treats including Frozen fruit and canteen made ice blocks.

Manly Vale Public School canteen  has been approved as a "Healthy Choice Canteen" by the NSW Govt. A healthy school canteen supports a 'whole-of-school' approach to student health and wellbeing, and reinforces healthy eating messages taught in the classroom. The NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy supports a culture of healthy eating in school by:
 

• promoting and increasing student access to healthier foods and drinks

• decreasing student access to less healthy food and drinks

• supporting water as a drink of choice

• making a healthy choice an easy choice.
   

We always welcome new volunteers to our canteen – mums, dads, grandparents and carers all welcome! Your child will love having you in the canteen while you provide a critical service for our school community and have a great day catching up on what is happening at school.
 

Note:  Unfortunately, for WHS reasons, no children are permitted in the canteen.
