Year seven student's comment.
"Hello my name is Danny and I was looking at the food you were thinking of putting in your canteen and I think it is a great idea to have something so healthy and yummy. I liked the nachos the best!!!!!
The presentation was also very appetizing. So I think you should go ahead with your plans and I bet it will be a great success. "
