Two grants to Pretty Beach

Pretty Beach Public School has been successful in receiving two grants for its school canteen.

The grant included canteen equipment worth $1500 from the Healthy School Communities Initiatives by the Federal Deparment of Health and Ageing while the second grant included almost $1100 from the WSN Environmental Solutions Grass Roots Program.

The canteen equipment package included one professional catering grade stainless steel focaccia toaster press, one apple slinky machine, two canteen menu boards, three-year membership with the NSW School Canteen Association and a booklet of healthy food ideas and recipes.

The new equipment is expected to arrive at the school early in term one next year.

The other grant was for the purchase of reusable containers to be used in the canteen to help reduce waste.

Principal Ms Vicki Redrup thanked Anni Griffiths, Sue Cox and Lyn Hyde for applying for the grants.
