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 Cowra Public School Food Service Unit aims to:
- provide an enjoyable, nutritious and attractively presented selection of food and drink at reasonable prices
- provide foods consistent with the Healthy School Canteen Strategy Guidelines to encourage healthy eating habits
- provide students with practical learning experiences about making healthy food choices, that reinforce classroom nutrition lessons
- function as an efficient business enterprise
- demonstrate high standards of hygiene in relation to the preparation, storage and serving of food at the canteen
- provide an opportunity for the school community, through the canteen committee, to participate in decisions concerning the operation of the school canteen and the implementation of government policy
- provide an opportunity for parent and community involvement in children's educational environment.

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.
