Canteen license revenue as included in the NSW Department of Education’s Annual Report, and as included in individual NSW government school Annual Reports.

Data Notes:

• The choice of method of operation of school canteens must be made in consultation with parent organisations in determining the best outcome for the school and its community.

• A standard canteen license agreement provides a set fee over a committed time period. Whilst the licensee administers the canteen, the principal maintains control over the agreement including the types of food sold.

• For calendar years 2020, 2021 and 2022, fee waivers provided to external canteen operators (due to Covid-19)were reported as canteen license revenue.
