"Bronwyn Richards and Sue Cooke commenced their association with our school as parents many years ago. They have been serving our school community in their role as canteen managers for over sixteen years. They always provide "service with a smile" and are constantly seeking ways to improve and enhance the canteen menu to encourage and support healthy eating habits, whilst providing a variety of enjoyable food and drink items.

"Bronwyn and Sue are constantly keeping abreast of changes to canteen requirements and guidelines, including the introduction of a healthy eating menu with easy to follow coding green - eat anytime and amber - eat sometimes foods. Healthier alternatives which have been introduced to the menu over the last few years include frozen fruit pieces and juice sticks, vegetarian fried rice and lasagne, carrot sticks, biscuits and cheese, just to name a few.

"Bronwyn and Sue show great care and compassion for students with their nurturing and caring ways. Student wellbeing is their number one priority. They also take good care of staff and other members of the school community by offering delicious, healthy lunches at very reasonable prices.

"Bronwyn and Sue are dedicated and hardworking and nothing is ever too much trouble. They often work outside of their regular hours and volunteer their time to support the school community. They approach their work with a 'can do' attitude.

"Our canteen ladies, as they are affectionately referred to by the school community, have over the decades won over the hearts of generations of students through their gentle and genuine care.

"On behalf of the school community, I acknowledge and applaud the great work that Bronwyn and Sue do and congratulate them on all their achievements."
