The Lindfield Public School canteen is run and funded by the P&C. The current menu complies with the Healthy Schools Guidelines issued by the NSW Department of Education. The department classifies food into three categories – green, orange and red. The majority of items on the LPS canteen menu fit into the green category (these are now marked on the menu with a smiley face) and the remainder fit into the orange category. There are some red items, such as pythons, which are only served on Specials Days. Gluten free items are also available. In developing the menu, the P&C need to balance what kids want to eat with what parents want to serve. Some members of the school community have expressed concerns about the ‘healthiness’ of some of the items on the menu. In response, the P&C has developed this survey to assess the extent to which these views are shared by the broader school community. Please select your responses to all questions on each page and then click the ‘next’ button at the bottom of the page to move to the next questions.
