Superior Northern Rivers Canteen Newsletter

Canteen news

While ASCA provides purchasing advice to the whole school, the school canteen has always been close to our hearts as ASCA’s origin was as a small buyer group for school canteens over 45 years ago. We transitioned to become the Australian Schools Canteen Association, and then later we became ASCA when we started to work with all sorts of other suppliers for schools.

We see our primary job is to recommend to our members the best value suppliers that we can find, and where possible, to negotiate better pricing or services using the buying power of our 6500 member schools.

in Touch

We have started by recently conducting a survey to find out where you would like us to help. Thank you to all of you who participated in the survey. We will shortly share the results with you.

We want your feedback and ideas, so please don’t hesitate to speak to your ASCA Area Manager. We look forward to hearing from you.
