Loyal ladies serve up lunch at Warwick West

TUCKSHOP may be a special treat for some but two hard-working ladies work behind the scenes to ensure the Warwick West State School tuckshop runs smoothly five days a week.

Both former parents of the school, Robyn Yarwood has been a paid tuckshop convenor for 15 years and Di Williams has been at the school for about four years.

The women were both honoured for their hard work at yesterday's Tuckshop Day - a yearly event to honour those who keep bellies full at Queensland schools.

"For me this is my passion, my love, my happy place," Mrs Yarwood said.

"The fulfilment I get from my job is amazing.

"I am so honoured to be a part of the school and to serve kids whose mums or dads I have served."

Mrs Williams said she was thrilled to continue to deliver healthy treats to the kids at Warwick West.

"Even when they're naughty, I still give them a smile," she said.

"We're really happy to provide this service to the children and encourage them to eat healthy."

President of the school P&C association Kerri Walters said the tuckshop was a point of pride for the school community.

"Robyn and Di do a great service, along with our volunteers who help out," Mrs Walters said.

"They're always friendly and make it all about them.

"We try to keep everything at a low price for the families who use it."

Principal Jason Callcott said the women provided a great service for the school.

"We're the only primary school tuckshop that's open five days a week," Mr Callcott said.
