What happens at a tuckshop network meeting?

Watch our YouTube clip to gain an idea of what to expect!

Caloundra Christian College have a 5 star menu, which was awarded a Tuckshop Menu award at the 2017 Tuckshop of the Year awards. They are also a P-12 school, so have experience in how to manage a menu for small and large appetites! Come along and speak with Margaret and the team about the secrets to their success, as well as the usual discussions with other local convenors about all things tuckshop.

Tuckshop convenors, volunteers and parent body representatives are welcome to come along and there is no cost to attend. QAST members and guests are both welcome. Light refreshments will be available so please register so your tuckshop host can cater for you.

A tuckshop network meeting is a group of tuckshop convenors, managers and/or volunteers from schools in the local area getting together to share their ideas. They provide a great opportunity to interact with others who understand the issues faced in a tuckshop. Tuckshop convenors who attend network meetings gain much benefit from doing so. Each meeting usually begins with a kitchen tour by our host tuckshop convenor followed by discussions on a range of issues often including:

• Sharing of menus and recipes
• Budgeting and pricing menu items
• Smart Choices
• Current grants available
• Ideas for producing food quickly
• Stock control and minimising waste
• Handling special diets on a menu
• Recruiting volunteers
• Suppliers servicing the area
