The Coober Pedy Area School canteen officially reopened its doors today after being closed for several years due to COVID-19 restrictions — and it did so with a bang!
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the dedicated parents who make up the School Governing Council, the canteen kitchen has been completely refitted with new equipment, restocked, and refreshed with a brand-new, healthy menu designed to fuel growing minds and bodies.
The reopening was met with overwhelming support from students and families alike, with excited kids lining up at recess and lunch to get their hands on the fresh and tasty offerings. Parents manning the canteen were run off their feet keeping up with the hungry crowd, but the atmosphere was nothing short of electric.
A spokesperson for the Governing Council thanked the Coober Pedy community for their incredible support and said it was heartening to see so many happy faces on day one.
The canteen will now be open every Tuesday and Thursday, serving up a delicious range of options including chicken wraps, hamburgers, blueberry muffins, banana bread, and plenty more to come.
The reopening of the canteen marks a positive new chapter for the school, bringing a much-missed service back to life with a fresh focus on nutritious, affordable food for all students.
