St. Patrick’s College has transitioned to a cashless canteen system. Cash payments will no longer be accepted, and students are unable to use personal debit or credit cards, including cards stored on mobile phones, to make purchases.

All students have been issued with a College Student ID Card, which is used to make canteen purchases. Funds must be loaded onto the student's Flexischools account, and purchases can then be made using their student card.

If your son has misplaced or lost his student card, he should attend the ICT Office to have a replacement card issued. Please note that replacement cards incur a fee of $5.00, which will be charged to your College fee account.

Parents can download the Flexischools app from the Apple or Google Store and follow the prompts to create an account. Registration and online ordering instructions can be found here.

Parents may also grant their son access to the app, allowing students to place online lunch orders independently.

Students can make over-the-counter canteen purchases by linking their Student ID Card to their profile within the Flexischools app.

Flexischools provides parents with the ability to:

• Load funds onto their son's canteen account
• Set daily spending limits
• Monitor canteen purchases through the app
• Manage online lunch orders
