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.
