IMPORTANT NOTICE

Chatswood High School P&C: Canteen Operations in 2018.

Over the past 8 years, the Chatswood High School (CHS) Canteen has been operated by the CHS P&C.

Recently the Executive of the P&C has undertaken a review of canteen operations following concerns about its financial results. As a result of this review, the Executive is recommending that the P&C will discontinue operating the canteen from 2018.

Please note - a canteen will continue to operate on-site at CHS in 2018. However, the P&C will no-longer be responsible for its operations. Instead, the school administration will publicly tender for an external operator to run the CHS canteen; with the new operator expected to commence operating in Term 1, 2018.

  • The P&C would like to thank the Canteen manager and staff for their hard work in providing nutritious and healthy food to our students, and loyal service in maintaining high operating standards of health and safety since the canteen was opened by the P&C in late 2009.

This decision has not been taken lightly and reflects the current operating model and financial position of the canteen. The current staff of the canteen have already been briefed on the impact of this proposed change.

Please read the attached documents for background and further information on this intended change - information and financials.

  • For clarity, there is NO other change to current P&C activities or operations in 2018. In particular, the CHS Uniform shop is NOT impacted and will continue to operate as it is currently.

What happens next?

  • The CHS P&C will hold an extraordinary meeting on Thursday, October 19 at 7.30pm in the IEC common room to vote on the following proposal:

“The CHS P&C Executive proposes that as a result of financial losses over the past 4 years, the CHS P&C will no-longer operate the CHS canteen from the end of term 4, 2017.“
