The primary goal of Talara’s Tucker Shack is to provide affordable, healthy, and high-quality food for our school community. We offer a wide variety of options so you can choose what best suits your child’s needs and individual tastes.
Any profits generated are managed by the school’s Parents and Citizens Association (P&C). The P&C uses these funds to directly benefit our students and the wider school community.

Tucker Bucks
Have you seen the Tucker Bucks menu item?
Tucker Bucks are perfect for when you don’t have spare change, but the kids would still like a treat from the Tucker Shack.
Tucker Bucks are available as either $2.00 or $2.50 tickets (perfect for a slushie!).
There are plenty of snacks and treats available for $2.00 or less.
All you need to access Tucker Bucks is a Qkr! profile via the app.
Break Times
First break - main eating time - 10.55 am to 11.25 am.
Second break - afternoon snack time - 1.05 pm to 1.35 pm.
Accepted Payment Methods
Please note: Debit, EFTPOS, and credit card payments are not available as an over-the-counter payment option for students.

We will accept both card payments and cash for lunch orders on the rare occasion that the digital Qkr! App is unavailable.
Ordering / Payment System
Talara Primary College, in partnership with the P&C, utilises the Qkr! App to help streamline payments.

Volunteers
Food preparation and serving is where the most help is needed, as many hands make light work.
Even just 30 minutes to 1 hour after school drop-off or before school pick-up makes a huge difference to the team.
Volunteers are vital and are the only way we can continue to deliver an affordable menu.
If you would like to help, please contact our team—they would be very happy to hear from you!

Donations
We warmly welcome donations of seeds, seedlings, and items that can be used in the garden.
Fresh produce is a huge part of our menu, and we love using ingredients straight from the garden!
