"I am pleased to nominate Cinzia Brancatisano as VSCA P-12 School Canteen Assistant of the Year (paid position).

Cinzia works with me from 9.00 am until 3.15 pm on Monday and Tuesday.

The Caroline Springs College - Creekside Campus has had a meteoric growth rise. When the school opened in 2005 we had 250 students. In 2006 we increased to 600 and in 2007 we have 850. The 2008 student numbers will be approximately 1250. We are still operating in the came canteen premises, with generally the same storage, refrigerator and freezer facilities.

Cinzia checks, processes and collates all of the daily lunch orders (between 70 and 130 daily). She then bags the chicken nuggets, dim sims and corn. Cinzia then assists to pack all of the lunch orders, ready for collection between 10.40 am and 11.00 am. Cinzia then serves during window sales from 11.00 am until 11.40 am. After this, Cinzia assists with cleaning and will help to count the takings, box up the frozen food ready to put on the next morning, stock up fridges and freezers and any other tasks she is allocated. After serving for the afternoon tea window sales from 1.45 pm until 2.10 pm, Cinzia will continue to count the daily takings. Most days, she does all of this with little or no break in her day.

During February to June of this year, I was unable to work and Cinzia took on the extra work-load without complaint. This included placing stock orders, checking invoices, daily banking and all other Canteen Manager related duties.

On the other days of the week, Cinzia is the Canteen Manager at St Paul's Kealba Catholic Primary School. She is also a great personal friend and I will be forever grateful for the additional duties she completed during my absence. She was also kind enough to keep in regular contact with me, so that I was kept up to date with any changes in the canteen."
