We would like to compare with other schools their menus for lunches, their canteens or tuck shops or how their students buy food at school. We want to do this because we would like to get ideas to improve what we have for sale at our school canteen to our students. You could send us your school menus or order forms by taking a photo or scanning them, you could film footage of your tuck shops or canteens in action, perhaps at lunchtime or perhaps without students in them (we will be doing the same at Melville Intermedaite) you can then leave a comment to us letting us know what the links are so we can view them. Thanks for being available.

Hi Damien and Wattana,
This is Room 1 at Tokomaru School. We are a small school (66 students) so we rely on our parents and community a lot - and this includes our lunches.
We have a Variety Lunch every second Friday. A parent/s create a small menu to choose from. For example, this week's menu is Nachos $2, Vegetarian Nachos $2, Banana Milo Smoothie $1, Lamington .50c, Popcorn .50c.
Each student takes an order form home and they choose what they want from the menu and return the money to school. A parent/s then comes in on the Friday to make and give the food out to the students who ordered it.
On the alternate Friday to Variety Lunch, we have Fish 'n' Chips from our local shop. The menu is Fish 'n' Chips, Chicken 'n' Chips, or Hotdog 'n' Chips (or just chips) All are $3. Students can buy drinks as well from the shop.
Students must order before school starts and then some of our senior students go to the shop to pick up the orders and distribute them to those that have ordered them.
We really enjoy the variety of food each week and the profit that is raised from the Variety Lunches goes toward our special end of year trip for the whole school.
The photos below are of our order forms for our Variety lunch every second Friday:

Mrs Bizzy and Class, and everyone at Tokomaru School. Thank you SO much for your post, we were really excited to read it and its been a great example of collaboration, the boys who are creating the project were very excited and it was wonderful that you included copies of your menus, we have put a link on our class page about it but thank you so much, its made our day, if there's anything that we can ever do in return then please let us know.
