Testimonials

Principals

To whom it may concern,

My Canteen Manager (Karen Thornhill) benefitted greatly from completing the Canteen Management Course in 2016. I have observed a rapid increase in her strategic and operational capacity that has had an immediate impact on Canteen Operations and more broadly the school community.

 Example of this include:

  • Application of the Traffic light system to the menu and an increase in the diversity of the menu while keeping costs in check
  • Changes to OHS practice and standards
  • Community consultation re menu, work practices etc.
  • Renewal of our whole school Healthy Eating Policy.

 This completion of this course was an extremely important capacity building experience for Karen.
