Canteen
The canteen operates each school day. Canteen orders must be submitted by 9am online using QuickCliq. Please note that this is a website only (there is no QuickCliq app) but the website works on mobiles, iPads, and desktop/laptops.
You will need to register an account to get started, and then enter your child’s details. Please note when entering your child’s profile, use their class (eg: Prep C, 1/D, 4/D, etc) in the Room field.
Counter sales are available at recess and lunch for snack items (not lunch) – cash only.
Canteen orders are online only and close at 9am.
If you are unable to submit your canteen order online by 9am, then you will need to bring lunch for your child to school.
A reminder that the canteen doors close when the music plays before school, at recess and at lunch.
Please ensure your child is well prepared prior to the music playing and not late to class due to purchasing items.
ACE Foundation Free Glasses Program

How Hillsmeade will communicate with you in an emergency.
In the event of a whole school emergency at Hillsmeade Primary School, we will contact our school community via Compass.
We encourage all of our families to ensure they are checking Compass regularly, and preferably have downloaded and installed the app (click here for iOS, click here Android).
If you do not have your login details, please contact the office ASAP for your username and password. The Admin team are happy to help you get started using the app. Compass also have extensive guides for parents on how to use the Compass app.
Please ensure you have notification settings switched to ON in order to keep up to date with information regarding your child and the school.
Dogs on school grounds - an adult must have full control on a leash
This is a friendly reminder that all dogs on school grounds must be on a leash and effectively controlled by an adult at all times. We have had many reports of dogs not being appropriately held and supervised, resulting in children feeling unsafe.
Please ensure you cooperate with us, enabling all members of the community to feel comfortable and safe in and around the school. Thank you for your understanding.
