Canteen Arrangements
The canteen is having to operate differently following our return to school.
For the foreseeable future the canteen will not be serving at interval – you should bring your own snack. Also both can vending machines and all water dispensers will not be operating – you should bring your own drinking water to school.
At lunchtime all food/drinks from the canteen must be pre-ordered through the online Portal – see previous message issued on the App regarding how to activate this. You will be given five menu choices each day which will be ready for collection in a bag labelled with your name, year group and what you ordered on it.
To make sure we can issue these meals quickly each of the 5 options will be issued at a separate location:
Main Meal – (first hot meal choice) – from the till area that was previously the staff and senior pupil till area
Option 1 – (second hot meal choice) – from the till point opposite the second floor stairs
Option 2 – (panini choices) – right hand side of cold servery till area
Option 3 – (Pizzini choices) – outside Kiosk
Option 4 – (sandwich choices) – left hand side of cold servery till area
Please remember to keep space between each other in each of these queues. Once at the front of the queue let the ladies serving know your year group and name so they can quickly pass you your food bag and get everyone served as quickly as possible.
You can still eat your lunch in the usual seating in The Street. Additionally the Assembly Hall will be opened up and desk and chairs set out in small groups of six with space between each– do not move the set-up of these desks. If the weather is reasonable you should then go outside.
Remember these changes are all about keeping everyone safe and especially important is that you must be responsible for your own litter. If you have bought food from the canteen put all waste back in the bag and bin it straight away. If you have a packed lunch either bin your waste or take it home in your lunch box.
The cleaning arrangements must be different right now and we must all take responsibility to try to reduce risk as much as possible and binning our own litter in our social areas both inside and outside the building is an important way we can all do that.
Remember to wash your hands at lunchtime either using soap or hand sanitizer. Being particularly careful about all aspects of cleanliness such as reducing litter and especially regular handwashing has been shown to be the most important things you can do to reduce the spread of this virus and keeping you and everyone around you safe.
S2-6 – If you are going off campus for your lunch you should remember that like everyone else you should be socially distancing and wearing a face mask/ face covering when in shops. Remember to be considerate of other people around you and again bin your litter.
We all want to be back and learning in school and by doing these simple things we should be able to achieve that and show your own local communities that pupils can lead the way in making that happen.
