Changes to the Lunch Order Ordering Platform
Dear valued KingWill customers,
We are wanting to provide you with some updates about school lunch orders.
Since our last communication to you earlier this term, we have been working to find better options for you, our customers. As promised, we have found an app that will provide you with lower fees and more payment methods. Spriggy Schools will be our new ordering platform. You can set up your profile at https://www.spriggyschools.com.au/setup/.
Due to the timing of this change being so close to the end of the year, departing families and those that have credit pre loaded with My School Connect (MSC), we will run both app platforms for the rest of 2026; the choice is yours as to which app you would prefer to use.
In 2027 we will solely be using Spriggy Schools. We are pleased to say that this change will provide you with savings on app fees. With Spriggy Schools there are no wallet top up fees, and the order fee is 29c per order per child, instead of the current 48c and $1.50 top up fee with MSC. We hope that this change will enable you to continue to support our small local business, so that we can continue to feed your children healthy, homemade school lunches.
MSC will continue until the end of the term. Spriggy Schools will go live and be ready for use for orders placed from Monday 16th November.
Please see attached information on how to set up your Spriggy Schools account, install the app, and place orders. As always, if you have any questions please reach out to either of us, on the numbers below.
We appreciate your patience whilst researching alternatives, and look forward to your continued support of our business.
Regards,
