Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Canteen
All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.
The Coogee Canteen is operated by our P&C with the aim of providing high quality, allergy aware healthy snacks and lunchtime meals to students and staff at reasonable cost.
We meet and exceed the requirements of the NSW Healthy Canteen Strategy 2017. We avoid colourings and preservatives where possible. We also aim to minimise waste and work with the school’s waste, recycling and composting programs. We also grow and use a few herbs in our own garden!
Where possible, we endeavour to source organic and free range produce. We hand-make and prepare a range of snack and lunchtime menu items in the canteen each day.
We rely heavily on the support of parent volunteers.
As a P&C activity, the Canteen belongs to the parent body and is always looking to improve and reflect the wishes and needs of parents, so feedback is most welcome.
Parent and volunteers suggestions are welcome and we will add items to our menu based on this feedback.
We love student suggestions and we have made changes to our menu base on these suggestions.

Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
is appropriate for the full range of school activities
is suitable for all body shapes.
Learn more about the NSW Department of Education’s School Uniform Policy.
Our Uniform Shop is run by parent volunteers with all proceeds going to the P&C. The shop is located in the year 1/2 building off Byron St. Usually when we are open, our happy red flag is popped out to signal we’re inside!
New enrolments can purchase a Uniform Starter Pack including uniform pieces, school hat & bag at a small discount. The Starter Pack order form will be provided as part of your new enrolment process. Click here for more information.
