Canteen

Our Canteen offers Qkr! (pronounced 'Quicker') as an easy to use, secure phone app for making canteen payments from your mobile phone.

Parents and caregivers may order their child's recess and lunch all without the worry of children using cash at the counter.

Qkr! will accept payment using any credit/debit card (except American Express) and has a simple checkout function. 

NOTES:

• Cash lunch orders are not available through the Canteen.  Cash will only be accepted at recess and lunch for snack items e.g. ice blocks.
• Recess orders can be collected via the Canteen roller shutter on the day.
• High school aged students (Years 9-12)  wishing to order via the app must collect their order via the Canteen roller shutter on the day.
• All other students (Rec-Year 8) will continue to receive their lunch order via their class Canteen box.

ORDERING PROCESS:

Canteen orders must be made by 8.55am on the day.

What happens if my child will be absent and I have ordered?

Please cancel the order via the Qkr! App.  You will receive a credit on the app.

Our canteen begins processing orders from 8.55am and is unable to see if your child is unexpectedly absent from school. Therefore, any orders not cancelled are processed and, when not collected by the end of lunchtime, are generally disposed of.  Please note: families will not receive a credit in these circumstances.

Note that lunch orders placed through the Qkr App cannot be carried over to another day. This is because our canteen operates on a strict ordering system, and carrying orders forward disrupts food preparation and stock quantities. 

Our aim is to ensure is to ensure that families are not out of pocket and to minimise food wastage.

What happens if I have forgotten to order my child's lunch?

We understand that sometimes things get missed.  If an order is placed after 10:00am, it will only be accepted under the following conditions:

• The student will receive a Vegemite dinner roll/sandwich, or
• Any surplus food available that has not already been allocated.

Please note that we are unable to accommodate specific lunch choices for late orders received after the 10:00am cut-off. Families will be advised of any outstanding lunch costs and will need to reimburse the cost of the food provided via the 'IOU' function on the Qkr! App. The IOU function can be found once you click into the school profile.  Please click into the IOU section and select the child that the IOU is for. You will then be able to enter in the amount owing to the canteen.
