The school canteen offers a fantastic range of healthy foods and drinks, and is open every day at recess and lunch times. Exciting ‘Meal Deals’ offers are available on alternate weeks throughout each term and are advertised in the school newsletter.

Right Bite Strategy

The canteen implements the South Australian government’s ‘Right Bite’ strategy to increase awareness and understanding of which foods and drinks are beneficial to our bodies, and to promote healthier choices. The ‘Right Bite’ strategy labels foods and drinks as one of green, amber or red. Green foods are those that should be eaten often, amber foods only sometimes and red foods should be chosen carefully and only eaten occasionally. The Trinity Gardens School canteen does not supply foods in the ‘red’ category.

The canteen has an easy to read menu which allows children to make healthy choices more easily. Foods are clearly labelled on the menu as either amber or green.

Volunteer Involvement

Volunteer involvement in the canteen is crucial to keep it running. Parents are asked to contribute some time to helping in the canteen if they are able.
