Canteen Promotion

Click here for details

 The Q4:H20 Canteen Promotion is part of the primary school based Q4:H20 Activity to promote healthy drinks. This activity aims to encourage students to choose water and/or reduced fat milk as a drink. During the one week promotion, each time a student purchases water or reduced fat milk from the canteen, they have their Q4:H20 canteen card stamped.

OH&S Resources

'Looking After our Kids' is a very useful resource for school canteens explaining how to understand and comply with the Food Safety Standards. The DVD and handbook covers areas such as food receipt, food storage, food processing and display, health and hygiene and cleaning. Some canteens may choose to play the DVD at a welcome event for new volunteers or may lend it to volunteers to view at home. The handbook has useful charts which canteens can use to ensure they have implemented safe food handling practices. It is available for free to school canteens from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aging 6289 5131 or foodsafety@health.gov.
