The Best Canteen
The KSPS canteen is operated by the P&C. Our mission is to provide healthy and delicious food options while maintaining relatively low prices.
Our Canteen “The Best Canteen” is open five-days a week. Mrs Fiona Best is our canteen manager. Mrs Best has been with KSPS for over 20 years and prides herself on holding The Best Canteen to the highest standards. She sources the freshest ingredients for our menu items, including fruits and vegetables for salad bowls, daily fresh breads for sandwiches, burgers and wraps, and makes by hand special menu items from scratch, such as pasta bolognaise. Everything is prepared fresh daily. Yum.
For more information on ordering, and our menu, please visit the Canteen page, under Parent Information.
The Best Canteen accepts cash orders at the canteen window and online orders via Qkr!. The cutoff time for both cash and online orders is 8.50am Monday to Friday. We use Qkr! for online orders. Download the Qkr! app for your device, or use the website. (You need to sign up for a Qkr! account to place an order.)
Volunteers Needed
We are always in need of volunteers to help at the canteen. Shifts start after drop off in the morning and finish around 11.30am. Volunteering in the canteen involves things like:
- Making fruit cups, placing items in pie warmers/oven, preparing burgers/wraps/sandwiches/salads and bagging up lunch orders.
- Selling sundries and recess items to students during lunch service.
- Preparing foods for the following day, as well as restocking shelves and washing up dishes and sanitizing counters
As a small thank you Mrs Best will provide you with an amazing lunch to take home. It's our way of saying thank you for helping our canteen thrive, as Mrs Best cannot achieve our canteen's fresh initiatives on her own.
We have two volunteer rosters:
1. Standard Roster - Please sign up where you can. You are welcome to sign up for one shift and see if you like it. You are also welcome to sign up for repeat shifts if that suits your schedule.
2. Emergency Roster - The purpose of our Emergency Roster is to provide a buffer should Mrs Best or our volunteer/s for the day be unavailable at short notice. This doesn’t happen often, but it does happen, and when it does we need to find alternative support quickly. Should you be available at short notice, we would be grateful if you could sign up. We will contact you if necessary
