Canteen
Canteen
St Philomena’s students (and staff!) enjoy a fresh, healthy range of food available at our canteen on Monday and Friday of each week.
Our canteen is managed by Mrs Anne Harrison, but we also rely heavily on volunteers, as without our volunteers, the wonderful service we provide is not be possible.
A day in the canteen usually starts around 10am and finishes around 2pm. It is not hard work although it can be very busy! We find that our children get very excited when they have a family member in the Canteen and that is a great way to share time with your children whilst also helping the school.
There is no experience required and on the job training will be provided – you’ll also get a lovely lunch and endless cups of tea, coffee and great conversation. Working in the canteen is an enjoyable way to spend the day and a great way to meet other parents at the school.
To ensure this service continues, we would appreciate ANY help and time you can spare. We realise everyone is very busy and your time is appreciated.
