Cool CAP Resources
Tasmanian School Canteen
Handbook
The Tasmanian
School Canteen Handbook was first prepared in
1994 by the School Canteen Advisory Committee in response
to consistent requests for assistance in the areas of canteen
management, employment of personnel and appropriate foods for
sale in the school canteen. The handbook was updated and revised
in 1999 and has recently been reviewed during 2005 and 2006
to provide schools with the most current information regarding
the operation of school canteens.
The contents of this handbook also support a number of recent
initiatives in the education and health sectors, locally and
nationally, that are directed at improving the health and wellbeing
of young people. These include:
- Tasmanian Food and Nutrition Policy 2004
- Active Healthy Schools brochure 2006
- Move Well Eat Well for schools project
- Additional funding to support CoolCAP canteen accreditation
- Tasmania Together
- Australian Better Health Initiative
- The Tasmanian Curriculum, Health and wellbeing syllabus

Looking After Our Kids
Are you confused about the food safety standards
Don’t worry – Be happy! |
The National School Canteen Food Safety Project video and handbook are here to help you!
“Looking After Our Kids” shows how to comply with the national food safety standards.
The video and handbook were developed by FOCiS (Federation of Canteens in Schools), with funding from the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing.
The video and handbook are designed to help school canteen manager, volunteers, school principals and parent bodies understand their responsibilities under the legislation.
Written by school canteens, the materials show how to meet the standards in a practical, commonsense way.
A free copy of “Looking After Our Kids” was sent to all schools in July 2002.
“Looking After Our Kids” is available from your Local Council. |

This is an excellent recipe book from the Western Australian School Canteen Association.
The recipes have been provided by canteen managers and meet the same healthy food guidelines and nutrient criteria which is used by FOCiS and Tasmania Cool CAP in our registered products programs.
The recipes are particularly useful for canteens as they cater for 10, 25 and 50 serving sizes. |
