Hello all,
Maitidli, meaning “provided with food” in Kaurna, is the name of the Parkside School canteen. It has paid part-time staff and volunteers who maintain the day-to-day running. There is a wide selection of healthy food available for breakfast, recess and lunch.
The philosophy of Maitidli follows the healthy food guidelines recommended by the Department for Education and is extended further through linking with the School Kitchen Garden and utilising fresh organic produce grown on site. This program ensures that the school community is guaranteed the best possible product and there is simply no beating the taste of homegrown vegetables.
The majority of menu items available are made in the Maitidli kitchen, with the aim of producing food as natural as possible. This has added health benefits plus research shows that reducing additives and preservatives can result in an increase in concentration and learning in children.
There are daily specials plus some seasonal specials. Suggestions for menu items and specials are encouraged! You will see the students helping with serving, preparing, counting and cleaning during recess and lunch and sometimes before and after school. This is enjoyed by the students and teaches life skills at the same time!
Maitidli also has delicious coffee available, so parents and carers are able to catch up over a cup. This is a great opportunity to find out what is happening around the school community.
There is a real community feel to Maitidli which is reflected in the number of volunteers who enable Maitidli to provide a variety of food choices that are healthy, fresh, dynamic and affordable. Volunteers are always welcome and are always needed.
Hope to see you soon,
The Maitidli Crew!
