What are meals like in schools?
We're (fingers crossed) going to be moving over to Brisbane by next August but I was wondering, with all teh Jamie Oliver stuff here going on, if anyone knows what the school dinners are like? Do they serve up the same crap as we get here or are they relatively healthy??

At our kids school they either take their 'eskys' filled with whatever you give them or they can have tuck shop. That consists of either:
Monday: Spag Bol or lasagne,
Tuesday: Butter chicken and rice,
Wednesday: 2 sushi rolls, ginger pickle and sauce,
Thursday: Chicken fajitas
Friday: Sweet and sour chicken and noondles
PLUS:
Choice of drink; milk, juice or water
AND:
Piece of fruit, fruit yogurt or cheese and biscuits.
Cost: $5 per day.

Presume it would change from school to school.
Our school's canteen is entirely run by parents on a voluntry rosta (no cost in hiring staff). It sells salads, sandwich's (wholemeal bread unless you request white roll) pizza, spaghetti jaffles (do you know what they are I had no idea until I moved here!)dim sums, noodles, burgers. Ice cream, icypoles, home made choc muffins, lollies (sweets)and pop corn (plain).
