School Payments

Please download QKR by Mastercard app to your phone and you can pay for school fees, order school lunches, pay for uniforms and other school items listed in the QKR menu. You can also pay for OSHC fees via this app. If you would like help on how this app works, catch up with us anytime in Student Services.
School Lunches payment
For quicker, hassle-free canteen and school payments, try Qkr! (pronounced ‘quicker’) by Mastercard. The link below is a flyer about the new payment app that will enable you to pay for your canteen orders, uniform orders & other school payments—right from your phone! This is an exciting new process for our school and our canteen, and we want to show you how it works.
Qkr! is the ideal way to pay for your school excursions, order your child’s lunch and even purchase uniforms. For information on Downloading and using the app please view this PDF >
