After a much longer period than anyone expected, I am pleased to say the Tuck Shop will be opening in Week 6. It is going to look a bit different to the original plan, but the aim is still to provide healthy, nutritious lunches and snack options for the HTPS community on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Our Tuck Shop food will now be made in an offsite commercial kitchen by the Efficiently Nutritious team and supplied to the Tuck Shop.

‘Efficiently Nutritious (EN) as a food supplier is a Canberra based business with a focus on growing and cooking nourishing food for our local community. We source high quality Australian food products that have been grown and cared for in a way that is respectful to the environment. Most of our fresh produce comes from small farms and market gardens in the Canberra region. This provides us with fresh and seasonal produce all year round. We source many of our dry ingredients from a not for profit, community owned bulk grocery store in Canberra. We use these ingredients to make simple, nourishing, home cooked meals and snacks with a focus on minimising food waste and maximising affordability.’

I am calling for volunteers to help run the Tuck Shop between 9-12 for those days. There will not be any food preparation required so anyone can do this. In an attempt to attract more volunteers, I have created some flexibility within each shift. If you click on the link below you will find the shifts that need filling for the remainder of Term 2. If your availability does not align exactly with a shift but you would still love to help, please just let me know and we will work around what you can do. I am excited to volunteer my time and give back to our wonderful school community and I hope that we can form a great group of tuck shop volunteers to help provide this service.
