HEALTH & HYGIENE

Commitment to cleaning and hygiene

As a food service we already have high standards of cleaning and hygiene in place. However, this has been increased further by:

  • increasing the frequency of cleaning and sanitising our canteen and food preparation stations where our fresh food is prepared
  • constantly monitoring health and hygiene practices with staff
  • providing hand sanitiser on each counter for students (where applicable)
  • ensuring all staff have completed FoodSafe food handler training by 13 May.

Staff wellbeing

  • We are actively following all health and travel advice issued by the Australian Government, including mandatory isolation periods for all staff returning from travel. We would like to inform the school community that there is no travel history in the last month by any of canteen staff.
  • We are also ensuring our staff are supported with clear health and hygiene protocols in the canteen, as well as providing the information and support to staff should they need to stay at home if they are unwell.
  • We strongly encourage volunteers to complete the Hospitality & Tourism COVID-19 Hygiene

Staff protocol

  • Correct hand washing procedures will be followed e.g. before staff start handling food or go back to handling food after other tasks; upon entering and exiting the canteen
  • During service and whilst packing lunches staff will wear gloves (changing them regularly as needed i.e. between tasks) and use tongs to avoid touching food, packaging or making contact with others
  • Social distancing measures will be in place e.g. maintain minimum 1.5m physical distancing
  • Our canteen will be staffed by a small volunteer group to assist in reducing the number of people on site

FOOD SERVICE

In line with DOE guidelines to protect our staff and students, the canteen will be providing a takeaway service only. This means our canteen will operate as follows:

Placing orders

  • No orders will be taken at the canteen counter
  • Parents/students to order online via QuickCliq for recess and lunch
  • We will not be taking cash orders

Collecting orders

  • As a precautionary measure, student use of reusable baskets will be replaced with disposable bags. Reusable student black lunch bags will be replaced with disposable paper bags.
  • Collection of orders will be supervised by Katie and social distancing measures will be in place, encouraging students to maintain minimum 1.5m physical distance
  • Floor markers will be used to guide student spacing

Service and break times

  • DOE guidelines state canteens can provide over the counter service;
  • At our school we won’t be providing over the counter sales for the time being.

Opening times

  • The procedures will be in place to allow the canteen to open in Week 4 the 22nd of May

Menu changes

  • There will be some delicious and healthy items available, however the range of choices will be smaller than our regular menu.
  • A reduced menu helps our canteen to forward plan, reduce wastage and to allow for reduced staff assisting in the canteen.
  • For updates on the menu, visit the Snack Shack Facebook group here.
