Pre-ordering your child's lunches online is now live through ParentPay. You can order lunches up to four weeks in advance. You can look through the choices with your child and order with them so they know what they will be eating. A guide on how to order can be found here. The lunch menus can be viewed in our Parent Zone. 

 Lunches for P1-5 and all Free School Meal Entitlement children will still be free but all other P6-7 meals will now have to be prepaid. Information on this is available here.

If you have any issues with ParentPay, please contact the school office.
