Running a school canteen isn’t easy – there are a lot of different stakeholders to please and trying to suit everyone can be next to impossible. But serving healthy food in schools is essential for happy and healthy kids!
We’re here to help! We offer advice on finances, management, menu and following policies such as Fresh Tastes @ School. Browse our canteen section. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, let us know. Thanks for visiting.

We know how important it is to provide children with healthy food in schools. We work with canteens across NSW and the ACT to ensure they’re meeting policy standards, such as Fresh Tastes @ School.
