Canteen forced to close

Umina Public School was forced to close its canteen from November 22 to November 25 due because the canteen supervisor and canteen assistant were away, according to relieving principal Mr Paul Farrugia.

The canteen supervisor was absent on leave and the canteen assistant was unavailable due to a pre-planned annual leave holiday.

"As it is necessary to have a person operating the canteen that has a safe food handling certificate, the canteen will not be able to operate on these days," Mr Farrugia said.

"We apologise for any inconvenience caused to Umina school families.

"The canteen will reopen on Monday, November 28.

P&C president Ms Julia Rooke thanked parents who had volunteered to help out but said that, due to OH&S regulations, staff must have the minimum of a SFH certificate to prepare food.
