School canteens

School environment has a great influence on the development of diet. Most people remember buying ice cream, mince pie and sausages at a special moment. But now this special moment will grow to a few children a week, or every day.

Public school cafeteria in New South Wales State must fulfill the NSW Health School cafeteria strategy outlined by NSW Health.

The dining room is a unique food company. Under the possession of the school, the principal is ultimately responsible for the items sold and how they function. Depending on the level of involvement of the school community, the cafeteria can directly manage one of the following:

The role of the chosen governance body is to ensure that the policies, procedures, and procedures related to the operation of the cafeteria are developed, implemented, and reviewed (eg, cafeteria strategies at health schools). Cafeteria managers work as employees managed by the management agency

Since 2010, all dining facilities in New South Wales have been certified as food companies and need to register with the NSW Food Authority. Foods sold from the public school canteens in New South Wales state must comply with the health school canteen strategy and the school community must comply with school nutrition policies that support that strategy.

ACT is carrying out the National Health School's dining guide guide. For support of ACT School Canteen, please click here.

The purpose of the guide is to provide a framework to support the sale of health food at school canteen. Currently, the eatery guide only covers the school cafeteria in the state or region where it is located, but a national cafeteria guide is prepared to coordinate existing canteen guide for state and territory schools. The canteen guide for schools in South Australia was not applied during the study; however, the school was able to get the position paper to explain the guide. Some administrators of school cafeterias who read the position paper are concerned that these guidelines will hinder the sale of beneficial food in dining rooms such as pies and hot dogs.

The school dining hall can operate under various management structures according to the individual characteristics and necessity of the school. Most of the cafeteria at the school are under the direction of the school council and the school council is responsible. Schools can decide to provide food services to students in various ways. When deciding on the management structure of the school food service, the school council should consider the type and extent of the food service requested by the school. For example, a small school that wants to offer dining room service once or twice a week can do this through volunteer assistance or external meals. However, secondary schools that require a wider range of food services (including breakfast) may need to hire full-time cafeteria administrators.
