Canteen

Beechwood Public School's Canteen is owned and operated by Beechwood P&C Association and is run by a Volunteer Coordinator and committee. 

The Canteen operates under the Healthy Canteen Guidelines and aims to provide nutricious food at a reasonable price to our school community. 

Funds raised through the Canteen support us to continue to operate the Canteen on a safe and practical basis, and covers the cost of equipment maintenance and supplies. Any additional funds remaining at the end of each calendar year are used to purchase equipment and resources for the students at Beechwood Public School that are not available through Department of Education funding.
