TUCKSHOP 2015
At GVGS we operate a tuckshop for the preparation and sale of snacks and lunches for students and staff. The policy of the
Tuckshop is “to offer a range of nutritious food and snacks to students and staff at reasonable prices and to produce a surplus for
the purpose of improving and providing school equipment and facilities”.
In order to produce a surplus we depend on people who are able to voluntarily assist the staff in the tuckshop with preparing food
and serving. You will not be required to handle any money. Volunteers usually feel quite comfortable doing these tasks and also
have a chance to meet and chat with other Parents, grandparents your child and their friends and also interact with staff. All
involvement with the Tuckshop is greatly appreciated. The suggested time is from 9:30am until approximately 1:30pm, or any
time that suit you.
If you are able to assist us at any time at the tuckshop, we ask that you fill in the information below and return it to the school
office or tuckshop as soon as possible. A roster will be drawn up and forwarded to you early in the new school year.
Thanking you.
