"I am pleased to nominate Tina Calcaterra as VSCA P-12
School Canteen Assistant of the Year (paid position).
Tina works with me from 9.00 am until 3.15 pm on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.
The Caroline Springs College - Creekside Campus has had a
meteoric growth rise. When the school opened in 2005 we had
250 students. In 2006 we increased to 600 and in 2007 we have
850. The 2008 student numbers will be approximately 1250.
We are still operating in the came canteen premises, with
generally the same storage, refrigerator and freezer facilities.
Tina checks, processes and collates all of the daily lunch
orders (between 70 and 130 daily). She then bags the chicken
nuggets, dim sims and corn. Tina then assists to pack all
of the lunch orders, ready for collection between 10.40 am
and 11.00 am. Tina then serves during window sales from 11.00
am until 11.40 am. After this, Tina assists with cleaning
and will help to count the takings, box up the frozen food
ready to put on the next morning, stock up fridges and freezers
and any other tasks she is allocated. After serving for the
afternoon tea window sales from 1.45 pm until 2.10 pm, Tina
will either sweep and mop the canteen floor or continue to
count the daily takings. Most days, she does all of this with
little or no break in her day.
During February to June of this year, I was unable to work
and Tina took on the extra work-load without complaint. This
included placing stock orders, checking invoices, daily banking
and all other Canteen Manager related duties.
I am very grateful for Tina's assistance."
- Debra Hockey, Canteen Manager
