Canteen Day
Canteen Day is held on the first Friday in November each year to celebrate school canteens and pay tribute to canteen staff and volunteers. This is an initiative of the Western Australian School Canteen Association Inc (WASCA), supported by the Department of Education. It highlights the vital role school canteens play in creating a healthy food environment, supporting student wellbeing, and assisting families. Canteen Day is an opportunity to thank our canteen staff and volunteers. When they work together with parents, teachers and students, the canteen becomes a focal point for the food and nutrition education that supports and reinforces what students learn at home, classroom and in the community.
Happy National Canteen Day! On the 3rd November it’s WA Canteen Day. A special day that we can acknowledge the people that have given up their precious time to help and support the Richmond Primary school canteen. We would like to give a huge thank you to Ros the canteen manager for her remarkable effort and all the other volunteers that help. Every week the food is amazing and when kids are in line, they have smiles on their faces. We hope that you will stay for years to come. Thank you!
