The canteen is operated by Metro canteens and can be accessed before the College day, during recess and at lunchtime.
Metro Canteens believe students should be able to make choices. While they sell chocolate bars, carbonated drinks and some fried food, they also provide very healthy menu items that are available everyday for students to choose from. These items include:
Fresh sandwiches and roles with wholegrain and white breads (made daily on site)
Low fat yoghurts
Breakfast cereals
Whole fresh fruit in season (sold at below cost)
Fresh fruit salad
Low fat flavoured milks
Fresh fruit juices
Freshly made low fat pasta dishes
Assorted salad packs with or without lean meats
To help promote healthy eating choices they also follow the guidelines below:
No butter or margarine on sandwiches unless requested
No added salt during the cooking process
Low fat cheeses are used
Low fat salad dressings and mayonnaise are used
Dim Sims are steamed and not fried
No carbonated drinks or confectionary sold prior to 9am
All homemade items are promoted aggressively
Low sugar (lite) drinks are given optimum placement in fridges
Continuing our desire to reduce caffeine based drink sales (already down from 52% to 30%)
Kurunjang Secondary College acknowledges the Wurundjeri people as the traditional owners of the country upon which we learn and work. We recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community and pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
