Amber savoury commercial items, such as hot dogs, hash browns, chicken nuggets, pies and sausage rolls should not be available more than twice per week unless they form part of a balanced meal e.g. served with three salad items and a small piece of fruit.

Other amber items, such as small fruit juice, small fruit muffins and ice creams can be sold every day however, they need to be restricted in some way e.g. recess only; after lunch only.

No. Red foods are off the menu and are not permitted to be sold at all. Remember there is ample opportunity for children to eat these types of foods outside of school hours.

No. Jelly offers no nutritional value and cannot be sold in school canteens. Jelly, whether served with fruit, custard or on its own is classified as red.

Maybe. If the volunteer is the primary care giver (parent/carer) of a child at the school they are not required to obtain a Working with children check. All other volunteers (e.g.  grandparents, community member, etc.), must hold a valid WWC. http://www.checkwwc.wa.gov.au/checkwwc

All food businesses must be registered with the local council. The school has a ‘duty of care’ to ensure food produced and consumed within the school is safe. By taking a whole school perspective to food safety, schools will be sure that they are providing due diligence. Please contact your local Environmental Health Officer who will be able to tell you what level of food preparation is permitted. See your local council website for contact details.
