Our tuckshop is a service
provided 3 days (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) a week at both first and
second breaks, for our students and staff. It is run by a convenor employed by
the P & C. The tuckshop relies on parent volunteers to assist with
operation.
Throughout the year, our
tuckshop alters the menu to cater for the seasons. The tuckshop also provides
food at sporting carnivals and school discos.
Help is always welcome and
it is a great way to get to know other parents and interact with the students.
To find out more information and get involved, contact Mel (our
Convenor) at school.

In 2019, our P & C Association introduced Flexischools, an online ordering system for purchasing items from the Tuckshop (Kids' Cafe).
For families still wishing to order using the over-the-counter- brown bag system this will also be offered. A manual class ordering
system also operates for students in all year levels. Each class has a tuckshop
box and children place their order into the box each morning. Please use a
paper bag to place your order.
Suggested label would
contain:
- Name
- Class
- Order is for 'first break' or 'second break'
- Total of order and amount of money enclosed.
You may also like to
include an extra bag if you wish to separate the hot and cold foods. Or a
separate bag for cold drinks (each bag needs to be labelled).
If you don’t have a bag
just write the order on an envelope and enclose 10 cents for each bag
needed.
Correct money is
appreciated, wrapped in paper or tissue and placed in the bag. If change
is required we will return it with the order.
The State
Government's Healthy Food and Drink
Supply Strategy for Queensland Schools, Smart Choices ensures healthy
food and drink choices to students. The strategy applies to any area where food
and drink is supplied including the tuckshop, fundraising ventures, vending
machines, excursions, camps, classroom rewards, sport days, and curriculum
activities.
The strategy is based on
the Australian Dietary
Guidelines for Children
and Adolescents and the Australian Guide for Healthy Eating encouraging fruits
and vegetables and severely limiting such items as lollies, fried foods, cakes
and soft drinks. The strategy advocates for a balanced approach to health,
which encompasses nutritious eating, combined with physical exercise thus
promoting an overall healthy lifestyle.
Volunteer
The P&C Association at Clinton State School is passionate about
positive parent partnerships and value immensely the time you are able to
contribute to the school. As part of our commitment to the school community,
funds raised through our tuckshop are used to improve and upgrade our
facilities and resources.
We have many wonderful people volunteering in our tuckshop and always
look forward to new faces joining our tuck shop team. Full training is given by
our convenor!
Volunteer support for all
aspects of tuckshop operations is always appreciated.
Parents interested in providing
assistance in the tuckshop or by providing 'home bake' are asked to contact the
tuckshop convenor.
