The Happy Plates Project is our flagship school-based food initiative, offering nourishing meals for just $5 per day—including both morning tea and lunch. We bring warmth and community straight into the heart of each school, with meals freshly prepared on-site using local, seasonal produce that might not meet supermarket standards, but is still every bit as delicious and nutritious.
By cooking at the school, we create more than just meals—we create connections. Students can see where their food comes from, smell it cooking, and learn that good food doesn’t have to be fancy or wasteful to be full of flavour and care.
Our meals are inclusive, catering to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. Whether it’s allergies, cultural considerations, or simply picky eaters, we ensure every student and staff member can sit down to food that feels like it was made just for them.
Happy Scraps Canteen
Wholesome, fun food for growing minds and big appetites kicking off in term 3!
Our school canteen is proudly run by Happy Scraps, serving up affordable, nourishing lunches that kids actually love to eat. From build-your-own toasties and hearty homemade soup of the week to fruity snacks and fun drinks like the Mineral Bomb, every item is made with care, and often with rescued or seasonal ingredients.
We believe in keeping lunch fresh, fuss-free, and full of goodness. Whether it’s a classic sausage roll, a sweet fruity muffin, or a smoothie made with love, our menu balances taste and nutrition while keeping costs family-friendly.
