Introduction of Metropolitan Canteens to operate our Rainforest Café and Tuckshop from 2025
The College in conjunction with our P&C, have recently undertaken the procurement process for the outsourcing of our school tuckshop. Commencing January 2025, Metropolitan Canteens will operate this service for our College.
We do not anticipate much change in the operation of the tuckshop, however will update staff and school families with logistical information over the coming weeks, regarding staffing, menu options etc, once we and the P&C meet with Metropolitan management later this week.
In the meantime, to ensure that staff and families receive the benefit of any loyalty cards and/or access any current tuckshop credits held through the tuckshop/cafe, please be advised that these must be accessed by Wednesday 11 December.
Please refer to the tuckshop opening hours in Week 11 attached to this newsletter.
On behalf of our College community, may I take this opportunity to thank our Tuckshop staff for their service to our College. I’m sure that you would agree with me, that the standard and service of this team in the ‘hub’ of our school, has been outstanding.
I would also like to acknowledge the work of the P&C Executive, and in particular Jo Kobos, for their commitment in overseeing the operation of the tuckshop and café to date. We are extremely grateful.
