What we offer

Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.

Canteen

All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.

The NSW government has launched a new Healthy School Canteen Strategy which focuses on increasing the availability of healthy food and drink options in school canteens so students can make healthier choices.

The Strategy is being delivered collaboratively by the Department of Education, NSW Health and the Premier's Implementation Unit, and will contribute to the Premier’s Priority to reduce overweight and obesity rates of children by five percentage points by 2025.

School canteens will need to complete a Menu Check to verify that they are meeting the Strategy. Rous PS has been given the Green stamp of approval for their Menu Check.

See Canteen Tab for information about the Canteen

Uniforms

When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.

Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:

• meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation

• includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics

• is appropriate for the full range of school activities

• is suitable for all body shapes.
