Helpers

Helpers are always needed in our busy canteen. Special Food Days, especially, in order to ensure the day runs smoothly and orders can be processed correctly. We would appreciate if anyone can spare a morning, to sign up on the following website link.

https://volunteersignup.org/XJ3WF

Sign up for QKR. It is a really easy app!

Please see the instructions at the end of this article to register on QKR. If you find you are unable to do so, please bring your device to the school office, and we will do our utmost to help you .

Some useful points about QKR:

EASY
No need to worry about lost money, orders or if your child hands in the order
No need to raid the piggy bank for coins or wait at the office to do an Eftpos transaction, you can do it from the comfort of your armchair as much as two weeks in advance
Very safe payment method. QKR is operated by Mastercard and comes with guaranteed safety. (Naturally, though, you don't need a mastercard to pay. Most major cards can be accepted.)
No extra charges, topping up: - just pay as you go.
You can use it to order cup cakes for your child's birthday, special foods and other activities as they occur (recently, we offered the Christmas Raffle via QKR)
already widely used in neighbouring schools
When placing a lunch order, don't forget to opt in for a bag option. See the two graphics below

You can cancel canteen orders if your child changes their mind, right up to 8.30am on the day. You just need to decide to order something else or if you want it kept as credit for later.

Not sure/can't remember what you ordered or even if you ordered? Check out the Order History section. You can even view the e'receipts.

And if your child has the same thing each week, you can copy from one week to the next. Just select 'repeat order' in the calendar section.

CUPCAKES

Surprise your child and order them a birthday cupcake for $2.50 with raspberry or lemonade icing on top. You can now order via the new QKR! app. FINAL DATE is 15th December.
