Tuckshop
Tuckshop
Every Thursday a sweet, enticing, exotic yet comforting scent wafts through the school corridors – aromas of cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, ginger, and other spices. This is Chai brewing in preparation for lunchtime’s tuckshop.
Briar Hill Primary School offers a unique service to its students – ‘De Tuckshop’. It is located on the deck opposite the dragon, and opens every Thursday lunchtime to cater to our children. It is often open after school on Thursdays and Fridays for refreshing icypoles or hot chai depending on the season.

The BHPS community tends to be conscious of the choices we make for our families’ food, from nutrition and variety to how it is grown and sourced. Other school tuckshops in our local area only provide generic soft drinks and processed food options. We are more fortunate.
Over the years, Deb has developed a menu of tried-and-tested dishes that children find appetising and that are packed with magically hidden vegetables. She uses organic and local ingredients wherever possible – and does it all on a not-for-profit budget to keep meals affordable.
The menu is posted each week on the blackboard (and the BHPS Facebook page), and includes favourites such as:
Did you know? Deb is familiar with our children’s preferences, and will adjust the serving size for each child according to their individual appetites.

Icy Poles are the only item that is paid for by cash and they are $1.50 each. Please send the money along with your child to school.
