To the Somerville House Community

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome back our existing volunteers and welcome all the new volunteers
who have joined our teams this year. We thank all of you for your time and commitment in helping prepare and
deliver food for our School community. We rely heavily on our volunteers to help our daily routine run smoothly and
we literally couldn't do it without you!
SOMERFARE SMART CHOICES MENU TERM 1
We offer light breakfast, morning tea and lunch. In compliance with Queensland Smart Choices, we continue to
offer healthy fresh foods including fresh sandwiches, salads and wraps, fruit and yoghurt. Some of our hot food
items include homemade pastas, fried rice, Moroccan couscous and nachos. We offer vegetarian and gluten-free
options also. You will notice a few new additions this term such as junior-serve salads and meal deals.
SOMERFARE SPECIALS
We still offer the ever popular:
- sushi on Mondays and Fridays
- Vietnamese rolls on Fridays
- Tuesday toasties
Our new homemade specials for this term are:
- new-look Nachos on Wednesdays
- Moroccan couscous on Thursdays.
We do change the menu from time to time so keep an eye out in the Newsletter and on Flexischools for new items.
A copy of our menu is available on the Somerville House website and also on the Flexischool website.
ONLINE ORDERING WITH FLEXISCHOOLS
If you haven't already done so, it is not too late to register with FLEXISCHOOLS to access our ONLINE
ORDERING system – it is very straightforward and will only take a few minutes. All our menu items are on there -
with the Smart Choices indicators - and you can even order in advance or place a standing order for the term. It is
a more efficient system for everyone and is quick and easy to use. Take the worry out of writing a bag and finding
the right change and go online! Note that orders must be placed before 8.30am. For more information please go to
www.flexischools.com.au
It is still okay to place a paper bag order over the counter – orders for morning tea must be in before school and
lunch can be before school or at morning tea time. Please remember to write student name, class and lunch or
morning tea on the paper bag.
Please note that Somerfare does not offer IOUs so please ensure students have money when purchasing over the
counter or when placing an order over the counter. Thank you.
JUNIOR SCHOOL SOMERFARE TUCKSHOP RULES
Just a reminder that Junior School Students (Years Prep to 6) are NOT permitted at Somerfare at morning tea or
before 8.00am. They are permitted ONLY after the second bell at lunch time. Junior School students must
purchase their morning tea and lunch by placing an order. Remember, ordering online is easy and can be done
well in advance. Paper bag orders can be handed in over the counter before school or placed in the box at the
Junior School Reception before 8.45am.
The filled orders then go into designated Tuckshop Class boxes which are collected by Tuckshop Monitors from
each class just before the service of morning tea and lunch. If a student cannot find her order, then she must see
her teacher or the teachers on duty before coming down to the Tuckshop to enquire.
DIRECTOR OF CO-CURRICULUM
Mr Allan Legge
SUPPORT GROUPS – many of our co-curricular activities rely on the support of the parent body to enhance the
programs we can offer the students. Please look out for notices re Support Group meetings in this publication. The
details (dates, venues etc) of Support Group meetings are sent to registered parents from the Support Groups
secretaries and they are also listed in the School calendar (please see Parent Lounge for up-to-date information).
ALL parents are welcome to attend to hear more about the activity that their daughter is involved in and to find
ways that they can help and support.
