Kelso Kitchen is open 5 days a week and is operated by your P&C with the aim of providing high quality, healthy snacks and lunchtime meals to students and staff at a reasonable cost. Where possible, we endeavour to source organic and free range produce.
We hand-make and prepare a range of snack and lunchtime menu items in the canteen each day and we follow the guidelines set out in the NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy, as we avoid colourings and preservatives where possible. As a P&C run business, the canteen belongs to the parent body and we are always looking at ways to improve and meet the wishes and needs of parents – your feedback is welcome.
How to order lunch or recess from our Canteen
Our Canteen uses Online Ordering with Flexischools
Flexischools is a great online system to make the ordering of lunches easier and more convenient.
- Order at a time convenient to you, in the morning, the night before, or weeks in advance!
- No searching for cash required it's already paid online!
- Order from home or work
It's so easy!
- Go to www.flexischools.com.au

- Registration is easy and free!

Payment Options available from Flexischools
There are a variety of payment options supported, including Visa, MasterCard (credit and debit), Bank Transfer and Payclick. The system operates via a pre-paid account.
The advantage for you
As parents the most important advantage of using online ordering are:
- You know that the Canteen receives your order
- There are no lost orders or money and young children are not required to handle cash
- You can detail EXACTLY what your child likes, even thick or thin vegemite!
- Flexischools is open until 9 am each morning, you can even order a week in advance or setup recurring orders.
- Paper lunch bags, order labels, cups and disposables are included in the cost.
- Orders can be cancelled at any time in the event your child is unable to attend school – until 9am online or by contacting the canteen directly by 9.30 am
If you do not have internet access, orders can be dropped off at the canteen each morning by 9:15 am. Please write your child's Name, Class and Order on the Bag.
All orders must be handed into the canteen with exact payment. If you do not have the correct payment we will endeavour to accommodate, but since we are a predominately Flexischools canteen, this is not always possible.
Please note that credit will not be given
Volunteers Needed! (Our Kelso Crew)
The Canteen relies on 10+ parent and community volunteers who are organised and trained by our canteen manager in the preparation of school lunches.
This is why we can provide lunches at current costs and to keep the canteen as a P&C run sustainable business. We do not aim to profit excessively but to cover costs and maintain a high standard of food quality. If you can volunteer your time, please contact Lisa Brooks, Canteen Manager.
Typically, you will only be required to do one shift 9-11 am, 11-1 pm either weekly, fortnightly, once a term or once a year volunteers and you can assist at any time if you are able, the roster is never full, and a new volunteer may mean a new menu item can be introduced.
The Roster
If you would like to join the roster, pop into the Canteen or phone the school. The roster is never full and all caregivers are welcome, Mums, Dads and Grandparents.
Lisa Brooks, Canteen Manager
Narranga Public School P&C Canteen
Our school canteen operates Monday to Friday and is open at recess and lunch. Orders can be written on the front of a paper bag with money to be placed inside the bag. Orders should be placed in the canteen box in the child's classroom at the start of the school day. Alternatively, we also offer an online alternative, go to www.flexischools.com.au to find out more. Canteen boxes are sent to the canteen by the class teacher at the beginning of the school day.
