    tuckshop menus

    We are currently doing a tuckshop menu review at DD1's school. I was wondering if anyone could email/send me copies of what is offered at their kiddies schools. We are trying to get away from chicken nuggets offered in 8 different ways.

    thanks in advance

    Our school has an external company do it. Google classroom cuisine. Not sure if you can see the menu without logging On but give it a go.

    We work with the Migrant resource centre locally and have the Somalian community do our catering - they offer Somalian pacakes or pasta with a choice of 3 sauces: cheese, meat or vegetable at $4 a serve.

    Then the tuckshop has yoghurt, fruit, mini muffins and icy poles at $1 or $2 each available at break time

    I'm a high school teacher and we have finally gone over to a healthy canteen provider (after years of the most expensive, disgusting food you could ever come across) - they have tubs of salad, yoghurt, sandwiches, sushi rolls, fruit etc that all have the green light, then there's amber choices (ie, only eat occasionally) like toasted Turkish bread rolls with REALLY yummy fillings, curries and rice etc. It has made a huge difference - staff eat on site, kids no longer skip class to go to Maccas etc. It is cheap, fresh and tasty.

    Don't have the menus to send but my last school did something called UFO's that were very popular - english muffins with cheese, ham and pineapple. Quiches/frittatas. Fruit and custard was a hit too.

    My neighbour's private school has a far fancier (but more $) menu. It has choices like nachos/tacos, savoury muffins, homemade pies, different types of pasta and pizza, sushi, mini sweet muffins plus the usual non-homemade stuff.
