The 'Snack Shack' at Asquith Public School is run by the P&C and our wonderful Canteen Manager, Carrie. The Snack Shack is open on Wednesdays and Fridays at recess and lunch. Students may purchase snacks and drinks using cash during either of these breaks, or families can order ahead and pay online using Spriggy Schools. Snacks and drinks are available for recess ordering and families can order these, as well as hot food, for lunch.
For canteen ordering, go to https://spriggyschools.com.au to download the app and get started. Orders must be in by 8:30am each day and can be placed up to 3 weeks in advance. If your child is sick or changes their mind after an order is placed, you can go back and edit or cancel the order and the money will go back into your Spriggy wallet, taking the risk out of early ordering.
We pride ourselves on offering a healthy menu, with over 75% of our menu on the Everyday item list. We try to accommodate any dietary requirements and plan to have most nutritional panels available on Spriggy. There are several Vegetarian and Gluten free options and we take Allergies seriously. We are always happy to discuss your child's needs via email (asquithpublicpandc.canteen@gmail.com) or pop in after the bell for a chat.
To keep our canteen running we need plenty of volunteers to assist our canteen manager. Parents, carers and other adult family members are all welcome to volunteer. Your kids will love seeing you in the canteen!
Volunteers require the following:
- A valid Working with Children Check (WWCC). You can apply for a WWCC here: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/serv.../working-with-children
