ParentPay Reminder
You can pay for your child's lunch online by registering with ParentPay. We recommend this method as it saves students carrying cash in school and they don't need to queue up during break to top up at the machine. With ParentPay you are able to see what they are eating and how much they are spending, plus you can opt to receive an alert when their balance is low.
