Canteen
We have an onsite-canteen
St James’ aims to provide our school with a healthy and ‘fun’ canteen with varied food and drink options. Our school is now registered with the Western Australia School Canteen Association (WASCA), and we are working closely with the Department of Education to implement and maintain a Healthy Food and Drinks Policy.
Our tasty menu encourages our students to make healthy choice options. Food warmers and coolers ensure students have the options of both warm and cold selections.
Online Ordering
We have a user-friendly online ordering system called FlexiSchools. This system allows parents or students to place orders from home, work or school via computer or mobile phone at any time up until 8.00am in the morning.
Getting online is easy and only takes a second to register. Simply go to FlexiSchools website and click “Register Now”. You will be sent an email with further instructions on how to complete the registration. Once registered, you can start placing orders immediately. Each order incurs a 25c ordering fee.
Café Follows ‘Traffic Light System
The Western Australian School Canteen Association Inc. (WASCA) states, “food and drinks classified ‘GREEN’ in the ‘traffic light’ system are recommended for everyday consumption. The majority of what is offered on a canteen or food service menu should be from the ‘GREEN’ section and these should be promoted as the healthiest choices. A MINIMUM of 60% of all foods, drinks and snacks offered by the canteen must come from ‘GREEN’ choices. Food and drinks in the ‘AMBER’ category in the ‘traffic light’ system are not recommended as ‘every day’ choices and their availability to students should be limited. NOT MORE THAN 40% of foods, drinks and snacks offered can be ‘AMBER’ products. Food and drinks in the third column are categorised as ‘RED’ in the ‘traffic light’ system and are not permitted in WA public school canteens or food services.
We look forward to healthier choice options in lunch boxes in the future.
