Bourke Street Public School acknowledges the important role that nutritious food plays in the growth and development of children and is committed to providing students with a variety of healthy menu options every day.

We have made a few changes to the canteen menu this term which we hope students will enjoy. This is in addition to all our regular menu items including freshly made sandwiches, wraps and salads.

Just take a look at the new Term 3 2014 menu for all the details.

Elham looks forward to seeing you in the Canteen!

OMELETTES AVAILABLE EVERY DAY

We have added a tasty egg, feta and spinach Omelette to the menu. It is available hot every day as is or, even better, on an English muffin with salad of your choice.

SNACK CUP SURVIVOR

Following the trial of new “go green” snack cups this year, we are pleased to say that Elham’s carrot sticks with hummus in the snack cup was hugely popular and will remain on the menu.

NEW DAILY SPECIALS • YUMMY OMLETTES • NEW DRINKS • SUSHI

NEW DAILY SPECIALS

We have added three new hot dishes from

Allied Chefs to our daily specials menu:

Monday: Ravioli Napolitana

Hokkien Noodles

Tuesday: Sweet & sour chicken

on fried rice

MORE SPARKLE TO THE DRINKS MENU

We are expanding the drinks menu this term

to include Just Squeezed 100% pineapple

juice as well as the refreshing Mount

Franklin Lightly Sparkling Mineral Water

with a Hint of Wild Berry. The Sparking

Mineral Water as well as all fruit juice drinks

sold at the Canteen which are 200ml or less

are rated ‘GREEN’ by the Healthy Kids

Association.

GOUJONS ARE ON THE MOVE

In an effort to keep the canteen running

efficiently as the school grows, and in light

of the success of sushi on Tuesdays, we will

no longer offer goujons, nuggets, or

drumsticks on Tuesdays. Instead, goujons

with veges will now be available on Fridays

along with the old favourite – fish fingers.

SUSHI SUCCCESS!

This year we changed sushi suppliers and

trialed offering it on two days rather than

one. The delicious Komachi Sushi has

been a HUGE success and we encourage

you to try it. We will continue to offer

Komachi Sushi every Tuesday and

Thursday and hopefully on even more

days in the future if the success continues.

EVENTS – EVENTS – EVENTS!

Look out for more canteen news flyers this

term as we participate in “Celebrate

Canteen Week" from 28 July to 1 August

including competitions and a Pizza Day.

We will also announce the date and theme

of our Special Food Day later this term.

CANTEEN HELPERS NEEDED

In order to ensure the Bourke Street

School Canteen service can continue to

grow with the schools requirements,

the P&C would like to call on all parents

and carers who have some time, even if

it is only a few hours a month, to

become part of the BSPS Canteen

volunteer network. Please drop into

the Canteen and let us know if you can

help or email:
